What is the news?
All Railway services have been merged under one category called the Indian Railways Management Services (IRMS) under Group A central services.

The move will help to fasten decision-making and also bring an end to departmentalism and culture of silos.
It will also wave the way for recruitment of new officers that has been on hold since the past two years.
