No.AIRF/24(C) Dated: December 28, 2011
The Chairman,
Railway Board,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Sub: Non-settlement of long pending of the Railwaymen
The inordinate delay in resolving the undernoted long pending major demands of the Railwaymen, deep sense of frustration is generating among them.
(i) Grievances of the Running Staff-
Issues relating to Running Staff, i.e. payment of arrears of Running Allowance w.e.f. 1.1.2006, improvement in the rate of Mileage/ALK, 25% increase in the rate of Mileage due to enhancement in DA(beyond 50%), Additional Allowance, etc. etc. are not being resolved despite sustained persuasions by the AIRF.
(ii) Removal of Departmental Anomalies– Departmental Anomalies were unanimously agreed by the Railway Board, and the same were referred to the MoF by the Railway Ministry, but unfortunately the same are still hanging fire without any fruitful outcome, as such need to be addressed early.
(iii) Recruitment of Substitutes in the Railways– One of the long pending demands of AIRF is that, the wards of the Railwaymen should be recruited as “Substitutes” in the Railways. Unfortunately, orders to this effect issued by the Railway Board were so complicated that the same could not be implemented by the General Managers of the Indian Railways and could not get real shape, on the contrary invited certain litigations as well. It is requested that the said orders issued by the Railway Board should be suitably amended so that wards of the Railwaymen are given priority while recruiting “Substitute” in the Railways.
(iv) Absorption of quasi-administrative offices staff in the Railways- The issue of absorption of quasi-administrative offices staff in the Railways was raised by the AIRF several times in various negotiating Fora with the Railway Board but unfortunately nothing has been done in the matter. If these staff are absorbed in the Railways, this will enable the Railways in having trained manpower.
(v) Implementation of various Welfare Schemes announced by earlier Hon’ble MR in her Rail Budget– Ms Mamata Banerjee, Ex. Hon’ble Minister for Railways, in her last Rail Budget had announced various Welfare Schemes for Railway employees and their wards, such as opening of Nursing Schools, Medical Colleges, Engineering Colleges, Polytechnics, Kendriya Vidyalas, houses for all the Railway employees, extension of medical facilities to both dependent father and mother of railway employees, setting up of a Railway Vidyalaya Prabandhan Board to improve the quality of education to children studying in Railway Schools. The progress on these Welfare Scheme is very tardy and to create confidence among the Railwaymen, the process of implementation of such welfare schemes should be accelerated
vi) Provision of Privilege Pass facility for the parents of Railway employees– At present, Indian Railways give Privilege Pass facility only to the widow mother of the Railway employees. This facility should be extended to the parents of Railway employees in line with PSUs, such as Air India, who offers this facility even to blood relations of the employees.
(vii) Implementation of recommendations of Group `D’ Staff Promotion Committee
(viii) Addition in Safety Categories for the purpose of LARSGESS
(ix) Extension of the scope of the LARSGESS to higher grade Safety Category posts and other categories
(x) Upgradation of 15% apex level group `C’ posts to group `B’ posts
(xi) Daily Allowance to Staff Car Drivers
(xii) Payment of Washing Allowance to all those staff who are getting uniforms
(xiii) Transport Allowance to the staff of Rayanapadu and Jamalpur Workshops
(xiv) Reimbursement of medical expenses and Children Education Allowance/Hostel Subsidy etc. and Transport Allowance.
(xv) Maintenance of Railway colonies and quarters.
(xvi) Improvement in the condition of Running Rooms
(xvii) 30% Training Allowance to the Trainers/Instructors
(xviii) Repatriation and Cadre Restructuring of the staff who are on deemed deputation in IRCTC to Railway Catering Units
(xix) Regularization of Casual Labours waiting in the Live Register
(xx) Splitting of grade pay for the purpose of cadre restructuring
It appears that there is no proper seriousness in the Railway Board on these long pending major issues. AIRF, therefore, feels that it will be quite appropriate, if these issues raised by the Staff Side are resolved within a reasonable time frame, else inordinate delay on these issues shall result in avoidable discontentment and frustration among the Railwaymen. It is hoped that the patience of the Staff Side and the sentiments shall be duly acknowledged by the Official Side(Railway Board) and a proper methodology shall be evolved to resolve these issues at the earliest to avoid unnecessary confrontation and industrial unrest.
We hope, this will be taken in right perspective and needful shall be done as early as possible. With kind regards!
Yours faithfully,
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
