Railmen stage dharna

HYDERABAD: About 200 drivers, guards, assistant drivers and shunting drivers, including those who are serving and those who retired, staged a dharna in front of the South Central Railway headquarters to focus attention on their demands.

Among their major demands are scrapping of the retrograde recommendations of the Running Allowance Committee 2002, negotiation with associations for scientific review and increase of running allowances by restoring 75 per cent pay element and enhancing of depressed pay scales of running staff on a par with other categories.
