The move came after railways minister Piyush Goyal asked the top brass to launch a massive drive to identify long term absentees in various railway establishments.
During the drive, it was found that more than 13,000 out of 13 lakh workforce were absent from service for a long time without authorization.
A railways statement said, “The establishment has initiated disciplinary action under the rules to terminate services of such absentees.”
Railways have instructed all the officers and supervisors to weed out these employees from the rolls after following due process, the statement added.
