After mandatory 48 hrs per week too they are not given rest for 30 hrs or 1-2 nights.
4. Loco pilots are demanding to implement 6hrs shift for express trains and 8hrs for freight trains.

I have searched in youtube and found that it is the third protest in the past 1 year. This news came today evening in ETV Andhra Pradesh. Vijayawada division has the second highest shortest of Loco pilots in the country.
