Dear Sir,
Sub:
Extension of age limit of retired Railway Doctors as Contact Medical Practitioners upto the age of 70 years-reg.
Ref:(i) NFIR' s letter No. 11/13 (B) dated 14/02/2017.
(ii) CMD, C. Rly’s letter No. 0561/Dr. Bansode/Retd.RMS dated 17/02/2017.
Federation
vide its letters of even number dated 10/05/2016, 23/05/2016,
22/08/2016 & 25/11/2016 has been requesting the Railway Board to
extend the age limit of retired Railway Doctors upto the age of 70 years
facilitating their appointment as Contract Medical Practitioners.
In
this connection, NFIR invites the kind attention of the Board (DG/P and
DG/RHS) to CMD, Central Railway’s letter dated 17/02/2017 (copy
enclosed) wherein request has been made to allow re-appointment of Dr.
Bansode an eminent Cardiologist who is well versed with ECHO studies and
is dedicated, highly skilled, sincere and has special rapport with the
Railway patients as Contract Medical Practitioner, as a special case.
Federation is of the view that the proposal of CMD, Central Railway
deserves to be considered, duly modifying the extant policy suitably so
that the retired Railway Doctors can be appointed upto the age of 70
years.
NFIR therefore, requests the Railway Board (DG/P &
DG/RHS) to kindly see that the approval is accorded revising the age
limit to 70 years for the purpose of engaging retired Railway Doctors as
Contract Medical Practitioner.
Yours faithfully,
S/d,

Sub:
Extension of age limit of Retired Railway Doctor as Contract Medical Practitioner for present age of 65 to 70 yrs.
Ref: This office letter of even no.dated :20/05/2016 & 21/12/2016
(copy enclosed)
In
connection with the above subject, please refer to this office letters
of even no.dated:20/05/2016 & 21/12/2016, where in you are requested
to make the necessary changes in the policy guidelines to accommodate
few deserving Retired doctors to work beyond age 65 years.
It seems, it is difficult to extend the working of Retired doctors for 65 yrs to 70 yrs as policy.
Of
late, we are getting representations from anions and railways, retired
and serving (copy enclosed) to extend the working of Retired Railway
doctors for 65 yrs to 70 yrs.
As a matter of fact, Dr.B.R.Bansode
(Physician), retired Railway doctor needs a special mention. He has been
working Central Hospital, Byculla, Mumbai for more than 35 yrs. He is
dedicated, highly skilled, sincere and has special rapport with Railway
patients.
At present, Central Hospital, Byculla is having only 2
IRMS (Physician) and other divisions of Central Railway are having only
one Physician, except Pune division, wnere there is no Physician at all.
Dr.B.R.Bansode
is well trained in Cardiology and does ECHO studies in Dr.BAMH,
Byculla. The other available Physicians in Central Railway are not
having that much experience as of Dr.B.R.Bansode to give full justice to
ECHO Cardiolography studies.
In view of this it is requested that
deserving doctor like Dr.B.R.Bansode may be reappointed as Contract
Medical Practitioner as a special case at least for 2 years, if not upto
70 years.
Enclosures: As stated.
