The question is why there is such an inordinate delay on the part of the establishment of the Railway Board in adopting the Government Policy on the subject as contained in DoPT instructions of 2015 ? Adoption of the policy should have been retrospectively done from 2015, as per DoPT policy, so that there is uniformity across various government personnel. DoPT and PMO should look into this matter.
