Mass Dharna

Dear SCREAns
I thank all the Rail Engineers who participated and who supported from the green rooms in the Mass Dharna held on 15.12.11 in front of Rail Nilayam as per the call of AIREF. It is very happy that a great applaud has come from all fronts that the engineers' have came on to a common platform realizing the injustice done to the cadre. Around 200 engineers from all the four engineering departments of the Railway viz., Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and S&T have participated in this Dharna and expressed their dissatisfaction about the anti-engineer steps taken by the Railway administration and the deaf ear paid by the Railway Ministry. The Dharna was presided over by Er.A.Kannan as scheduled. Engineers from Vijayawada, Nanded, Guntur, Secunderabad, Hyderabad and Guntakal divisions have participated under the respective banners of their divisions. Er.R.Satyam, Er.R.V.Rama Rao, Er.K.Chandrasekhar Rao, Er. Rajasekhar and other engineers from all branches have addressed the engineers gathered and interacted to elevate the injustice to the rail engineers. In the evening, a memorandum was issued to Addl.General Manager Sri R.Vijayamohan as General Manager was on line. AGM has thoroughly read the memorandum given by the delegates. Er. Viswanadham have explained point by point about the irregularities in fixation of pay scales, non-implementation of the recommendations of DOPT, social injustice among the railway employees etc. AGM accepted that the cadre was ignored by the pay commissions and not properly represented. AGM assured that the plea of Rail Engineers will be forwarded to the Railway Minister. Print media also interacted with the General Secretary and President of SCREA and in detail inquired about the injustice done by the Railway administration. 
     The photos taken in this context will be posted in our blog by tomorrow.
     I believe that, if the same tempo will be maintained by all rail engineers, it is not far to get our justified demands.
Regards
Viswanadham
General Secretary
