BINNUAL GENERAL BODY MEETING OF 'SCREA' AND CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

Dear SCREANs
It is proposed to conduct the Biannual General Body meeting of South Central Railway Engineers' Association along with Central Executive Committee meeting of All India Railway Engineers' Federation on 25th August 2013 (Sunday) from 10.00 Hrs., to 17.00 Hrs., at Hawa Mahal (Roof Top Auditorium on Sanchalan Bhavan), Secunderabad.

Two preliminary meetings were conducted on 26.07.2013 and 04.08.2013 in this connection.

Dear Engineers
All of you aware that the status of our cadre is being depleted day by day due to anti-subordinate engineers' decisions by the Ministry of Railways and Railway Board. Though several Dharnas and Demonstrations were conducted, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Railways are keeping a deaf ear. Today we are in a state of BEGGING rather than DEMANDING due to lack of unity among the cadre of Group C Engineers. Though DoPT recommended to upgrade all the Group C engineers in GP 4200 as Group B, the Ministry of Railways is not abiding by the recommendations. whereas, all Group D was merged into Group C under the same recommendations.
Similar several issues shall be discussed besides strengthening our SCREA. In this connection, BGC is proposed on 25-8-13. All our Federation leaders and the Delegates from other Railway Engineers' Association are being attending to the meeting and addressing the gathered engineers and planning the strategies to be followed to get our genuine demands. In this connection, all the Engineers over S.C.Railway are requested to attend the meeting enmass and make it a great success.
Dont forget that Engineers' Unity is Nation's Integrity.

WHOM SHALL WE CAST OUR (ENGINEERS') VOTES ???

Dear SCREANs

It is high time for every Rail Engineer of the Indian Railways to take a decision with their soul. All of you are aware that the cadre of Engineers is suppressed badly and the social status is thumped to depths in every pay commission. We are undergoing delusion in every stage in the hands of so called recognized trade unions. It is an undeniable fact that none of the federations represented the cadre of Engineers' to their true spirit. This is the root cause of formation of Zonal Engineers' Associations under the aegis of All India Railway Engineers' Federation.

In the light of forth coming elections, now, once again the Federations are showering step mother love on Engineers. Whatever is achieved out of the struggle of Engineers' Associations and AIREF, is being claimed as their achievement. Today, once again they are hugging the Rail Engineers and stating that they are their blessed children and giving praising the efforts of Rail engineers in keeping the IR is in the forefront of the Global Railways.

Dear SCREANs, we plead that - Beware of the traitors. All of us know the facts. Don't tempt for the baits. Now these so called labour organizations are offering posts of Office Bearers to engineers and trying to attract them with gimmicks.

Dear Engineers ! A vote is the most powerful weapon in Democracy. It changes the fate of an organization or a country or yet times the global scenario. So let us think intelligently.

"WHOEVER COMES TO US--LET THEM COME WITH THEIR ELECTION 'MANIFESTO'- Let them spell out what they are going to do for the betterment of RAIL ENGINEERS. Let them assure that their PNM or JCM will definitely contains the ill fate of Rail Engineers. Then only our VOTE will be CAST.

On behalf of the SCREA, I plead all Rail Engineers to be unite in this context. Definitely this brings a considerable change in the attitude of labour organizations towards the Engineers.

Long live ENGINEERS UNITY-

Dear SCREAns,

Here is a shocking article forwarded by Er.Satyam. Most of us are working on Electrified sections and most of our Sr.DENs are asking photographs as proof of evidence in many cases and we are taking photographs almost every day. Check this article and be careful while taking photos on electrified sections.

MUST READ" " MUST READ" " MUST READ"

Can ELECTRICITY pass through Flash light of the Digital camera to your body??? Yes it is 100% true..!

This is a true incidence reported of a boy aged 19, who was studying in 1st year of engineering, who died in Keshvani Hospital, Mumbai. He was admitted in the Hospital as a burned patient. Reason ??????

This boy had gone to Amravati (a place located in State of Maharashtra ) on a study tour, on their return they were waiting at the railway station to catch the train. Many of them started taking pictures of their friends using "Mobile Phones" and / or "Digital Camera". One of them complained that, he was unable to capture the full group of friends in one frame in the Digicam.
This boy moved away to a distance to get the whole group.

He failed to notice that at an angle above his head, 40,000 volts electrical line was passing through.
As soon as he clicked the digital camera? 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers & to his body. All this happened within a fraction of a second. His body was half burned.
They arranged for an ambulance & his burned body was brought to Keshavani Hospital, Mumbai.

For one & half days or so he was conscious & talking. Doctors did not have much hopes as there was a lot of complex issues in his body. He passed away later.
Now how many of us are aware about these technical threats & dangers? Even if we are, how many of us are adhering??
