MISUTILISATION OF STAFF & WELFARE INSPECTORS AT SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY KHARAGPUR WORKSHOPS
1. The Issue: The Chief Workshop Manager is deploying Staff and Welfare Inspectors at entry/exit gates to monitor punctuality and daily attendance.
The Violation: Attendance tracking, gate discipline, and shop-floor management are the statutory duties of Controlling Officers and Shop Supervisors.
The Impact: Diverting SWIs to policing/enforcement roles destroys employee trust, disrupts industrial relations, and creates a massive backlog in core welfare work (processing retirement settlements, managing staff grievances, and inspecting railway colonies).
The Demand: Restore SWIs to their designated welfare roles immediately. Implement automated Biometric Attendance (AEBAS) or deploy dedicated Time Office staff to monitor gates.@AshwiniVaishnaw@serailwaykol@IndiaRailmin
Staff & Welfare Inspectors are being diverted to gate punctuality duties at South eastern Railway Workshops Kharagpur, violating standard establishment rules. This hurts employee grievance redressal & core welfare work. @RailMinIndia@AshwiniVaishnaw@AIRFhq @NFIRhq #IndianRailways
5/ The solution is simple: strengthen hospital security through functional CCTV systems, trained security personnel, and accountability—not by intimidating healthcare professionals.
4/ Any investigation must strictly follow the law and established procedures. Professional dignity and the rights of public servants cannot be compromised in the name of investigation.
3/ Nursing officers are responsible for patient care—not policing hospital wards or safeguarding visitors' personal belongings. Holding them accountable for security failures is unfair and dangerous.
2/ In a recent incident at South Eastern Railway Main Hospital, Kharagpur, a Senior Nursing Superintendent was allegedly subjected to intimidation at his residence after a patient's mobile phone went missing. The incident raises serious questions about due process .
🧵THREAD: When those who protect become the oppressors...
1/ Hospitals are meant to be places of healing. Nurses work night shifts, save lives, and uphold the highest standards of patient care. They deserve respect—not intimidation.

When systems deny referral, delay care, and ignore communication:
Autonomy is denied
Beneficence is compromised
Justice is violated
This is not administration—this is ethical failure.
