520 _aIn addition to the cumulative shortage of technology-driven mechanised system, acute shortage of skilled personnel power in railways has resulted in a grave situation in rail safety. Presently, 2,74,000 posts are lying vacant in different zonal rail¬ways out of which 1,70,000 posts are di¬rectly associated with rail safety. So, the acute short¬age of staff has imposed huge workload on in-service employees and often caused rail accidents on account of human error.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2023/49/commentary/indian-railways.html
