State building Muriganga bridge without help from Centre: Mamata
The Centre has not given a single paisa to hold Gangasagar mela scheduled to be held from 8-17 January, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said today.
Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) will soon conduct an examination to fill the vacant posts in the Commercial Department.
If reforms have their way in the Indian Railways, then an MBA degree will be a must for the job of a Commercial Inspector. At present, a graduate can apply for this post but in the future they will be able to apply only if they have MBA degrees along with graduation. This new rule is likely to be implemented in the new recruitment.
In a letter issued on November 23 by the Commercial Department of the Railway Board, it is mentioned that there is a plan to merge the Commercial Inspector with the Chief Commercial-cum-Ticket-Clerk cadre. Similarly, a Traffic Inspector will be able to work as a Commercial Inspector and Chief Commercial-cum-Ticket clerk. Railway officials said that at present the duties of all the employees of the Commercial Department (Group-C) are divided and they cannot do each other’s work.

Booking clerks do ticket booking at railway ticket counters and commercial inspectors do the work of prevention of illegal weddings, etc., on trains and stations. All of them are employees of the Commercial Department. The Central government has started merging all the cadres of the Commercial Department under the reorganization in the Railways.
