Well, now it seems to be turn of Indian Railways, or to be particular, central railway, to adopt much coveted discriminatory policy towards the totally blind job aspirants.
No less than four totally aspirants are being shuffled like a cork between officials and offices to get their rightfully deserved posting as Lower division clerks in Pune and Mumbai divisions of central railway after duly clearing written test and skill test. I have come to know that 19 posts of LDC/Stenos were reserved for blind/low vision candidates vide advertisement in may last year and final results of which were declared sometime in June this year. despite receiving posting letters calling them for medical fitness tests, these individuals have been hauled up due to recalcitrant attitude of railway doctors who do not find them fit due to total blindness for clerical posts. The case is said to be under consideration of higher authorities, or at least this is what those candidates have been orally told. Now, Central list of identified jobs does contain the post of stenographer as well as lower division clerk as identified for low vision as well as blind. Appointing partially sighted candidates duly and keeping totally blind in abeyance is not at all justified. Moreover, who gave these bloody railway doctors the right to sit in judgment over what the central government has duly thought fit to identify!!! The less said about wisdom of our railway officers, the better it is!!! I am more than confident about the fact that had the selection process involved any element of personal interview, these hapless totally blinds would not have made it to medical test also!!!!!! It is high time that all of us should rise in unison with these foursome to get justice for all the totally blind individuals. I am loosing patience with these pig-headed fools called administrators. I think we must meet highest officials in Central railways and give them a deadline failing which we must take strong decisions. I also appeal NAB employment wing to cooperate. If they are not a part of this group, would anybody be kind enough to pass on their contact information to me, for I don't visit the sites of NGO's!!!!
