VISAKHAPATNAM: The All India Railwaymen’s Federation has secured majority in 15 out of 16 Railway Zone in the country in the elections held to recognise the majority trade union, according to assistant general secretary of AIRF and general secretary of East Coast Railway Shramik Union (ECoRSU) Chalasani Gandhi here on Tuesday.
