Department of Railways seeks human resources

The Department of Railways has sought 200 technical and non-technical staffers to revive the Nepal Railway Company to timely operate Janakpur-Kurtha railways.
The government is planning to operate the Janakpur-Kurtha railway service from October and the department has asked the government to provide staffer to timely start the service.
Nepal Railway Company used to operate Janakpur-Jayanagar railways – which is now non-functional – since 2014, some five years ago – which the government is planning to resume by the end of this year.
“We asked the line ministry, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, in writing to provide us with necessary human resources to revive the company and start Janakpur-Kurtha railway service from October,” Department of Railways confirmed. “The government is planning to operate both passenger and freight trains in the Janakpur-Jayanagar section.”
The Janakpur-Jayanagar railway track reconstruction work is ongoing – at present – with technical and financial support from India..
The department has started the process to revive the government-owned railway company from April 24, the department informed, adding that it has already amended the bylaws for the operation of railway service and hiring of staffers. “It is necessary to revise the previous bylaws and make them more contextual to revamp the railway company and also resume the railway service.”
The department needs to revamp the current organisational structure of the company, apart from adding human resources, also as the government is planning to construct various railway projects across the country.
