Ludhiana:
Activists of the Uttariya Railway Mazdoor Union (URMU) met the Station Superintendent and discussed the issue of duty roster with him.Leaders of the URMU alleged that the stationmasters did not have any authority to make duty roster of employees.The competent authority for making the roster was the Divisional Personnel Officer.ML Prasher, assistant divisional secretary of the Uttariya Railway Mazdoor Union , said carmen were surplus at the Railway Station, Ludhiana, so officials take there services when required.Satnam Singh, a carman, had been deputed at the booking office for the past two years.

Now, the Station Superintendent deputed a train disperse peon at the booking office.

“We have the objection that why the train disperse peon has deputed at a place where surplus carmen are serving well. We met the Stationmaster and he agreed with our point,” Satnam Singh added.
