The Review Committees carried out a detailed assessment of the officers' service records in accordance with the prescribed procedure before making their recommendations.
The review included an examination of Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APARs), integrity records, vigilance inputs, disciplinary history and other relevant service records. The committees unanimously recommended the premature retirement of the officers in public interest in the respective cases.
The Ministry said that Indian Railways follows a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, lack of integrity and inefficiency. It added integrity, discipline and accountability remain non-negotiable in public service, and actions taken under the relevant provisions of the Indian Railway Establishment Code are aimed at upholding these core values.
The latest action is part of the Railways' ongoing efforts to strengthen accountability and remove officials found lacking in integrity or efficiency through periodic service reviews.
