NEW DELHI: In yet another blow to her predecessor Lalu Prasad's legacy, railway minister Mamata Banerjee has removed the chairmen of all railway recruitment boards (RRBs).
The drastic decision to revamp the recruitment process has come at a time when RRBs, located in 20 cities across the country, are mired in controversy and accusations of largescale corruption, irregularities and question paper leak.
