Bhubaneswar, June 16: East Coast Railway (ECoR) has decided to restart the training of Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) candidates after lifting of restrictions in force due to lockdown. The notification for ALP vacancies was released in February 2018 while examinations were conducted in January, 2019 by Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB), Bhubaneswar and Secunderabad. Panel of candidates were received from RRBs Bhubaneswar and Secunderabad between August, 2019 to January 2020 and accordingly these were assigned to three divisions of Khurda Road, Waltair and Sambalpur. “Training was started in time and a total of 951 of 2702 candidates were sent for training, i.e. 523 from Khurda Road, 260 from Sambalpur and 168 from Waltair Division,” said an official. Out of 951 candidates in training, 246 had completed training while training of others had to be postponed for lockdown. Assistant Loco Pilot is one of the most important safety category posts in Railways because safe running of trains is dependent on them, so ALPs can join working posts only after completion of their training.
