Hello sir,

I have selected as asst loco pilot in railways in 2016. I have under gone medical standard A1 to clear medical exam.

After my appointment in the same year 2016, I got my knee injured on duty. I was operated for knee ligament correction.
I was fine.
Now when again I was put to work, I could not able to perform the pilot duties effectively, due to knee pain problems like climbing the engine repeatedly.

So can I request for alternative employment in railways.?
Or any procedure do I must carry out?
Any similar cases like me,?

Can Mr. Harish M clarify, what is the relevance of his post about consumer complaint or character assassination of Mr. Harish M with respect to the present query about alternative employment in railways.of Mr. Vinod?

Alternative employment in Railways depends upon the recommendation of the competent medical authorities of Railway Hospital.

Ms.Usha Kapoor (Expert) 16 April 2018
Agree with Mr. Dhingra. Also in many such Govt or Public sector organizations if the employee bec0mes disabled during the course of employment and becomes incapacitated to carry on his original work the employer is assigning him a different post in the same organization which doesn't involve stress and strain of his previous work.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 16 April 2018
Fully agreed with experts aboive.

I would further elaborate the rule position:-

The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995

Section 47. Non-discrimination in Government Employment –

(1) No establishment shall dispense with, or reduce in rank, an employee who acquires a disability during his service: Provided that, if an employee, after acquiring disability is not suitable for the post he was holding, could be shifted to some other post with the same pay scale and service benefits: Provided further that if it is not possible to adjust the employee against any post, he may be kept on a supernumerary post until a suitable post is available or he attains the age of superannuation, whichever is earlier.

(2) No promotion shall be denied to a person merely on the ground of his disability: Provided that the appropriate Government may, having regard to the type of work carried on in any establishment, by notification and subject to such conditions, if any, as may be specified in such notification, exempt any establishment from the provisions of this section.

Mr. Vinod it is not a legal issue but it is a medical issue. If your railway doctor is not ready to give such medical certificate get your case referred to some expert to a referral hospital of railway

I stick to my above legal opinion.

Suggestion has already been given. It was for you to understand. However, to make it clear, approach the Medical Officer of the Divisional Railway Hospital and get recommendation from him after your thorough check up.

P. Venu (Expert) 11 June 2018
You have still not informed whether you are still made to work as a loco pilot and are you still performing the tasks as assigned? If not, have you been applying for leave and are the leaves,so applied, sanctioned? If not, how your absence from duty is regulated?
