Division Secretary of Indian Railway Loco RUNNING Men's Organisation P K Sharma, branch secretary Rahul Chaurasia and S K Tyagi, P K Sharma and Abhay Kulshreshtha of North Central Railways Employees association.

Future Strategy:

• They proposed to meet DRM of Agra at 1600 hour to press their demand.
• If talks fails, the unions will even stop Gatimaan Express on April 5 next.
