Vice-Chairman of the Telangana State Planning Board B. Vinod Kumar requested Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to scrap the concept of National Level Eligibility Test for the recruitment of Group C and D category posts in Railways and take up recruitment zone-wise with agencies like RRB providing 95% reservation to local candidates.
In a letter addressed to the Railway Minister, Mr. Vinod Kumar said on Saturday that the destructing visuals aired on the digital media on protests against the recruitment of posts were causing extreme heartburn and these incidents could have been avoided had the previous Railways Minister Piyush Goyal considered suggestions made by him regarding changes in the railway recruitment process in the country.
