The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,

Subject: Observance of “All India Protest Day” on 28th April, 2025 against arbitrary implementation of the report of the Standing Multi-Disciplinary Committee constituted to deliberate, engage with Federations and submit holistic recommendations on the issues/grievances of Loco Running Staff raised by Recognized Unions.

Dear Comrades,

As you are aware, the Railway Board, vide their letter No. 2024/Elect.(TRS)/138/7(Com)(3476271) dated 04.04.2025, has issued instructions to the General Managers of the Indian Railways to implement arbitrarily the report of the Multi-Disciplinary Committee. This committee was constituted to consider the issues/grievances of the Loco Running Staff raised by Recognized Unions, but its report has been implemented without any consultation with AIRF.

All the affiliated unions of AIRF are, therefore, requested to observe “All India Protest Day” on 28th April, 2025 all over the Indian Railways against this arbitrary action of the Railway Board. Reports of the same, along with photographs, should be sent to AIRF.

It is also advised that demonstrations should be organized at all Running Staff Lobbies throughout the country by our affiliated unions.

Yours comradely,
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
General Secretary
