Several railway unions have officially declared their intent to initiate a 24-hour token strike, commencing at 12 midnight today, in protest against significant reductions in their salaries. The unions strongly oppose the salary cuts imposed by the authorities and plan to voice their discontent through the collective action of railway controllers, drivers, and supervisory officers.
Despite engaging in discussions with relevant authorities, the unions have expressed dissatisfaction with the responses received concerning their concerns, as highlighted by K. D. Prasad, Secretary of one of the unions. The impending strike is poised to disrupt rail services nationwide throughout the specified 24-hour duration.
