रेल प्रशासन के समक्ष निबंधित कुलियों का मुद्दा उठाया जाएगा: मो ज़्याउद्दीन

Licensed porters working at Barkakana station have requested the railway administration to provide them with basic amenities. They have been working for the past 10 years but lack essential facilities like uniforms, medical care, and rest rooms. They were provided uniforms in 2017, but no new ones have been supplied since....
more...
Their request for uniforms during the COVID-19 pandemic was denied, with the administration stating that porters would now receive an allowance instead. They also face issues with medical access, as their previous red cards are no longer accepted, and a digital card is required. The porters are demanding facilities like drinking water, electricity, fans, toilets, trolleys, and rest rooms with fans and toilets. Despite their consistent contributions, they are forced to work without these basic amenities. The union had provided them with support during the COVID-19 pandemic, including financial assistance, rations, clothes, and safety kits. They hope the union will continue to advocate for their needs. The issue will be raised with the railway manager.

Barkakana station pe kaam karne waale license wali kuliyon ne railway administration se suvidhaayen dene ki maang ki hai. Unhone bataya ki woh 10 saal se kaam kar rahe hain, lekin unhe uniform, medical suvidhaayen aur rest room jaisi basic suvidhaayen nahin mil rahi hain. 2017 mein unhe uniform diya gaya...

tha, lekin uske baad koi bhi uniform nahin diya gaya. COVID-19 pandemic ke dauran uniform ke liye unki maang ko yeh keh kar reject kar diya gaya ki ab unhe allowance milega. Unhe medical access mein bhi dikkat aa rahi hai, kyunki pehle wala red card ab valid nahin hai aur digital card ki zarurat hai. Kuliyon ki maang hai ki unhe peeyejal, bijli, pankhe, shauchalay, trolleys, aur rest room mein pankhe aur shauchalay jaisi suvidhaayen milni chahiye. Iske bawajood ki woh apna kaam sahi se kar rahe hain, unhe yeh basic suvidhaayen nahin mil rahi hain. Union ne COVID-19 pandemic ke dauran unhe financial assistance, ration, kapde aur safety kit jaisi suvidhaayen di thi. Unhe ummeed hai ki union unki suvidhaayen ke liye railway administration ke saath baat karegi. Is issue ko railway manager ke saamne uthaya jaayega.
