AIRF Demands Travel Allowance for Railway Employees on Election Duty
Railway employees who worked during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and 2025 Delhi Assembly elections haven't received their traveling allowance.
The All India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) is asking the Railway Board to fix this.
Other government workers already got their money, but railway staff haven't.
The AIRF says it's unfair and wants the Railway Board to tell the Zonal Railways to pay the employees.
They believe this is important to maintain fairness and keep the railway staff motivated for their work.
