The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Zonal Unions,


Dear Coms.,

Sub: Meeting with the Railway Board on Running Staff related issues successfully conducted today on 08/06/2011


The issues of payment of arrears of Running Allowance w.e.f. 1.1.2006, improvement in the rate of Kilometreage Allowance, 25% enhancement the rate of T.A./ KMs on reaching D.A. 51%, etc. were discussed today between the Railway Board and the President and General Secretary AIRF.
After prolonged discussions, there have been some breakthrough but the issues are still remained inconclusive because Railway administration wanted some more time for collection of data.
We hope an early solution in the next meeting with the Railway Board on the subject.

Comradely yours,
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
General Secretary
