गुड्स ट्रेन में सुविधाएं न होने से आक्रोशित गार्डों का प्रदर्शन

On Wednesday, railway guards at Chopan railway station protested against the lack of basic amenities like water, toilets, and seating facilities in the brake vans. They also demanded the withdrawal of the order to replace trolley bags with line boxes. The guards stated that the brake vans lack water and toilet...

facilities, and seating is limited to a broken iron sheet. They highlighted the difficulty of carrying their essential bags and the trolley bag to the brake van, especially considering the long distance they have to cover. The guards' council demanded the provision of inbuilt boxes in the SLRs/brake vans with basic amenities instead of replacing trolley bags with line boxes. They threatened to escalate the protest if their demands are not met.

Chopan railway station pe, guards ne brake van me paani, toilet aur bethne ki arrangement na hone par protest kiya. Unhone line box ke badle trolley bag dene ke order ko वापस lene ki maang ki. Guards ne kaha ki brake van me na to paani hai aur na hi toilet....
more...
Bethne ke liye kursi bhi nahi hai. Ek lohe ki chadar ki tool hai, woh bhi bahut brake van me toot gayi hai. Is situation me, hum guards apne box pe baith ke duty karte hain. Sabhi station ki lambai ki dugni goods train hoti hain. Sabhi bogies ke peeche brake van hota hai. Goods train ke guards ko railway line ke gittiyon se hote hue brake van tak ka safar karna padta hai. Aise ek apna mulbhoot suvidhao ka bag aur doosra trolley bag ko brake van tak le jaana kitna kathin hai. Guards council ke mandal karyakari adhyaksh Vijay Kumar Mishra ne bataya ki hum log railway ke aadhunikaran ke khilaf nahi hain. Line box me gadi prabandhak apna byaktiगत सामान nahi rakhta hai balki surakshit aur sanrakshit parichalan ko parichalit karne ke liye gadi prabandhakon aavashyak upkaran ki peti hai. Agar kuchh badlaav karna hi hai to SLR/brake van me inbuilt box uplabdh karaaye aur sabhi mulbhoot suvidhao se susajjit ho. Chetavani di ki hamari maangen nahi mani gayi to All India Guard Council ke netritva me andolan ko aage badhane se peeche nahi hatenge.
