Auction the 2200 seats

Just so that you know I am not a total lefty. I was thinking why doesn't the government auction off the 2,200 seats for class D employees. This is assuming ofcourse, that a gangman's job is not exactly rocket science (or it wouldn't be class D). A cursory google search seems to support the view that most sane, responsible men/women would be able to carry it off (being a gangman).

An auction would get rid of the queue. Only people who value the job--and the job security--and willing to pay for it will apply. The Indian Railways could use the money for its own modernization.

Ok I haven't thought this through totally. I wonder what Prashant thinks about it? We need liberatarians.

Just BTW there is an excellent post on queue's at Brad's site. Read it if you haven't.
