administration work is coming as a subject for PNM mainly for the

provide basic amenities at Depots and also provide Quarters.

action will be taken. GS also mentioned that C&W Khalasis cannot be taken
into workshops, but they can go on bottom seniority.

Divisional Transfers and once agreed it should be implemented. He
mentioned that still in HPT – BAY section, Engineering Trackman were not
relieved to Hubli Workshop even now.

Bangalore Division, results in revenue loss due shortage of manpower in ticket

S E C T I O N –B (PREAMBLE SUBJECTS)
All the following 14 items tabled as preamble subjects had been sent to
respective P/CHODs for detailed examination and remarks. All these issues will
be replied to GS/ SWRMU separately. Preliminary discussions however were
held on each item with the respective HOD.
(1) Posting of Senior Scale Officers (WM & DEE) at CWS/MYSS.
At CWS/MYSS, Senior Scale officers (WM & DEE) post in
Mechanical and Electrical are vacant. ln place of them, AWM and
AEE are posted. Due to this, for forming committee for promotion of
artisan staff, Shop is depending DME/Mysore for mechanical and
DEE/Bangalore for electrical. This causes much delay in operating
artisan staff promotions. Hence, posting of WM and DEE for Mysore
Shops may be ensured at the earliest. ‘
CME, CPO
R E M A R K S:
CME has agreed to pursue.
(2) Separate Reservation Counter for Railway Staff at Mysore Railway
Station.
ln the HQ PNM held during Sep 2012, subject for a separate reservation
counter at Mysore Railway Station exclusively for reservation of railway
staff of Mysore Division and Workshop was raised and remarks were given
that after studying the feasibility, the same may be implemented. But till
now, no action has been taken in this regard. Now, the demand is high for
this and action should be taken in this regard.
CCM, DRM/MYS
R E M A R K S:
(3) Disturbance in the Railway Colony at Hassan
Previous to the opening of KSRTC 2Ind Depot adjoining to railway Colony
at Hassan there was a road between station and colony. Then the lorry I
owners started using this road and it was reported to then DRM/MYS and
DRM personally stood their and erected barricades to avoid inconvenience
to occupants of colony. Further there is highway road in front of Old depot
and newly started depot. But KSRTC personnel have started using the
road which is inside the Railway Colony which creates lot of problems to
occupants and un-safety for children. Employees performing night duty are
unable to sleep peacefully. This is already brought@ the notice of MYS
Division authorities but still now it is not known what remedial action has
been taken. The KSRTC traffic is still continuing. Hence, this union urges
to take necessary action to stop the movement of KSRTC vehicles.
PCE, CSC/RPF, DRM/MYS
R E M A R K S:
It was explained that the KSRTC have developed a maintenance depot (for
attending repairs to their vehicles only) which is situated adjacent to the
Railway colony at Hassan at one end.The approach road to this is from the
circulating area which passes through the Railway land for 187 mtrs and
212 mtrs in PWD land. Earlier this road was the sole road leading to MYS
Page 7 of 83
and following four laning of highway the alignment has been shifted. MYS
Division Officers have also discussed with the DC and KSRTC authorities
and requested them to find a direct approach road from the Highway to the
Depot. However there are parcels of private land coming in between and
acquisition of private land will be time consuming. In the meantime it is felt
that Railway cannot be in a position to refuse access to the PWD land. In
order to protect the people residing in the quarters, it is proposed that a live
hedging will be provided on either side of the road.
(4) Non-availability of Ministerial Staff at Dy.CE/Cons./O/UBL.
After the sudden demise of the ministerial staff working in this department
one ministerial staff was posted but he got entangled in corruption case.
Now there is no personnel branch staff available to see personnel branch
related matters of staff. During last PNM also this subject was discussed
but still date no staff is posted. The staffs are, deprived of LARGESS
scheme related appointments due to this non-availability of ministerial
staff .0ne {trackman is looking after the personnel branch matters. So, the
union urges the administration to post one ministerial staff immediately.
CAO/CN, CPO
R E M A R K S:
(5) The staff relieved in 40% -10% from Engg. to Workshop.
After the instructions of GM/SWR ‘ I - still in some sections like BAY, HPT
staffs are not relieved and also lot of complaints are coming to this union
that 40%-10% it is for serving employees quota asking qualification(SSLC
passed) is against the Railway Board orders. 2-3 cases are come to this
union. The employee’s selection list was published and relieved from Engg.
department to UBLS .The UBLS is not taking the employee saying his
qualification is below as prescribed in the notification. This is the way the
administration is conducting screening test putting the employees into
hardship.
CME, CPO, CWM/UBLS
R E M A R K S:
The matter will be further examined.
(6) Grievances of staff at NVU Coaching Depot.
After shifting the coaching depot from UBL to NVU the employees were
issued orders stating it was temporary transfer and they are applicable for
TA but later the order was modified and it was issued as permanent
transfer and they cannot avail TA. Basic t amenities such as drinking water,
high mask lights, rest room for ladies etc., should be provided. The staff
are complaining to the union saying there is no proper drinking water and
there is one RO plant kept for namesake, canteen is provided in isolated
place After providing all these basic facilities, the coaching depot should
have been shifted without providing facilities and asking the Railwaymen to
work I in this condition it will not be tolerated by this union. Still now no
proper lighting is provided, high mask light is provided but it is not burning.
Since to reduce the workload of UBL the coaching depot was shifted to
NVU and during last 1 month coaches coming from BJP is going to HPT
previously it was brought to UBL. Supervisors’ room at NVU should be
provided with new furniture instead of old furniture.
Page 8 of 83
When the pattern is changed it should be discussed with the union Hence
this union urges to treat it as temporary transfer and provide TA to the
staffs. All the difficulties should be completed without delay.
CME, CPO, DRM/UBL
R E M A R K S:
(7) Procurement of 178 Nos of Fake Currency Detecting Machines to PRS
& UTS over SBC Division.

20.10.2014 As on date not even a single machine is in working condition
out of four machines for entire division. Hence, this union urges to speed
up the procurement at the earliest to avoid inconvenience to Commercial
Staff.
CCM, COS
R E M A R K S:
(8) Change of classification of Pointsmen’s rosters of TK section from EI
to ‘C’.
The factual job analysis conducted during 2010 justified the change of
classification of Pointsmen working at TK station from El to ‘C’. The
proposal was sent to CPO/UBL vide Sr.DPO/UBL Letter· No.B/P.347/JA/
PMs/TK, dated 03.06.2010, after keeping the proposal in cold storage for
almost two years now the proposal have been returned vide CPO/UBL
Letter No.SWR/B/P.347/HOER/SBC Division dated: 13.02.2012 stating
that the proposal was not agreed since the goods shed activities is likely to
shift to Kyathasandra.
It is very pertinent to mention that the job analysis conducted during 2010
based on the workload at that time and further the workload have been
increased at TK and justifies reclassification. If at all future date any
activities in the workload gets reduced again by the way of job analysis
classification may be revised. Till such a time the justified JA report should
be considered and classification is changed from El to ‘C’ from the dated of
FJA.

and based on the justification the roster’s of SM’s was changed to
upgraded classification from E1 to C, Since then onwards this union has
been persistently requesting the administration to implement the changed
classification to NRYP & BSPL on the lines of DP1 station wherein FTA
was conducted only at DPJ the justified change of classification has been
implemented for entire section from BAND to OMLR. However, this has not
been done in case of NRYP & BSPL Similarly the factual job analysis
report has been sent to HQ during 2012 for change of classification of SM
of HEB & BAND from EI to C, the same is pending at HQ`. Once again this

Page 10 of 83
(13) Delay in initial Medical Examination for Compassionate Grounds
Appointment candidates in CH/UBL.
There has been delay in Medical Examination for CG appointment
candidates in CH/UBL. The administration is delaying the medical exam for
2 to 3 months of each CG candidate stating that RRC candidates will be
given first priority. So this union urges the administration to treat CG
candidates as first priority and then the RRC candidates. There should not
be any delay in offering appointment on compassionate grounds.
CMD, CPO
R E M A R K S:
(14) Cancellation of transfer of Sr.Sténo and CA working under CN/BNC
Smt. Jacqueline Linda Lobo, CA and Smt. Tara Srivatsan, Sr.Steno
working under FA&CAO/CN/BNC have been ordered to be transferred to
Hubli vide FA&CAO/SWR/UBL order #51/NG/2014 dt.0l.l0.20l4. The above
two staff have submitted their representations appraising their difficulties in
carrying out this order. The situations under which they are requesting the
cancellation are very much genuine. Copy of their representations are
enclosed.
As ladies with their family established at Bangalore, husbands working at
Bangalore, children studying in colleges with family members ailing with
chronic diseases, it is indeed difficult to execute such a transfer as this
disturbs the family setup and peace. Moreover this is against the Railway
Board directives and women’s welfare norms. Also seniority of staff is not
taken into account while framing this order. Hence this order appears to be
entirely arbitrary and against the welfare of the staff and their family.
Further there are sufficient vacancies available at BNC for accommodating
these two staff at BNC and a copy of the prevailing vacancy position is also
enclosed.
In view of the above, this union recommends the case strongly for
cancellation of the orders.
FA&CAO
R E M A R K S:
The matter was discussed and will be further examined in the light of the
discussions.

M I N U T E S (4/5-02-2014):
As per Railway Board guidelines, a committee has been formed consisting of HQ(SAG)
level and (JAG) Divisional level to monitor adequate facilities at TTE’s rest room.
GS/SWRMU has mentioned that facilities as per the instructions of Railway Board are
yet to be provided, especially at stations like Hubli, Shimoga. At Hubli itself, which is
headquarters of SWR, 25 beds are required at peak hours whereas only 19 beds are
available. Water Geysers, Coolers etc. should be repaired immediately. The problems
faced by the TTEs of SWR in Rest Rooms at Tirupati, Chennai, etc. of neighbouring
Railways are yet to be solved.
M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)
It was mentioned to the Union that as per the Railway Board guidelines, a committee
has been formed consisting of HQ(SAG) level and (JAG) Divisional level to monitor
provision of adequate facilities at TTEs rest rooms. In addition to above, divisions were
also instructed to take immediate action to sort out the deficiencies at TTEs rest rooms
and to maintain zero deficiency vide letter dated 12.06.2014. The Divisions have been
given a target date for the deficiencies reported to be made good by 31.08.2014.
CCM has informed that the issue has already been taken up with South Central Railway
in respect of TTEs rest room at TPTY.
GS/SWRMU has raised the pathetic condition of TTEs at Tirupathi where TTEs are
hiring rooms on payment as the existing rest room for TTEs is very bad. He also
mentioned that this issue has been brought to the notice of DRM/SBC on several
occasions. GS demanded that till such time improvements are made in the existing rest
room at Tirupathi, reimbursement for hiring the retiring room has to be arranged. GS
also demanded that few retiring rooms should be earmarked for the occupation of TTEs
of Bangalore Division till such time the existing rest room is made fit for occupation.
During the discussions, the problems being faced at Chennai has also been highlighted
by GS. GS mentioned that even at Hubli, being the Headquarters of SWR, sufficient
beds are not being provided.
CCM mentioned that with regard to lack of facilities including paucity of beds, it was
decided that the matter will be vigorously taken up with other Railways and an
acceptable solution will be found within a couple of months.
GS has discussed this issue with General Manager on 10.07.2014 also and GM assured
that necessary steps will be taken shortly to improve the conditions at the rest rooms of
TTEs and GM advised CCM to earmark a few Retiring Rooms for the use of TTEs,
which will give some relief.
GS specifically mentioned that cooking facilities should also be extended to the TTEs on
par with the Loco running staff in terms of Railway Board’s instructions issued during
2010. GM mentioned that the instructions of Railway Board will be followed.
MINUTES
A number of committees comprising of officers from Divisions have been regularly
conducting inspections of TTE Rest Rooms and submitting their recommendations.
These recommendations are then being forwarded to the DRM of the respective
divisions for remedial action where deficiencies are noticed. The divisions have assured
that necessary work will be completed at the earliest. As regards facilities on adjoining
Railways, the respective DRMs/CCMs have been informed. The matter is also being
pursued with them for quick amelioration of the deficiencies.
GS mentioned that rest room at Tirupathi has improved but still much needs to be done
for rest rooms in Mysore and Hubli divisions.

02.03.2005, the Tower Wagon Drivers who were in erstwhile pay scales in 5th PC
Rs.4500-7000 their pay have to be fixed in GP 2800. The fixation have been done
correctly in adjoining Railway’s except SWR/SBC Division wherein their pay have been
fixed in GP Rs.2400 causing grouse anomaly amongst Tower Wagon driver working in
SBC Division.
The above subject has been discussed at Divisional level in the last PNM vide agenda
No.08/06/2012 and administration have replied that the matter has been referred to Hqs
vide their letter No. B/P.535/III/TRS/TWD dated: 27.08.2012 for issue of
clarification/guidance in the matter
Hence, this Union urges to advise SBC Division to revise and re-fix the pay of Tower Car
Drivers in light of the above Board’s instructions with1 retrospective effect.
M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):
It has been pointed out by SWRMU that as per the instructions contained in Railway

working in Bangalore Division.
Prior to formation of South Western Railway CPO/MAS has issued certain guidelines in
the matter of conducting selection for the post of Tower Wagon Drivers in scale
Rs.4000-6000 and instructed all Divisions to follow instructions uniformly. Subsequent,
to order passed by Hon’ble CAT, Trivandrum in O.A No.115/2010 Trivandrum Division
has upgraded the post of Tower Wagon Drivers by matching surrender.
SBC Division is not a respondent in O.A.115/2010 and hence Hon’ble CATs order
referred to above has not been implemented by this division.
The contention of the SWRMU is that the post should be operated in scale Rs.45007000 in 5th CPC and correspondence Grade Pay should be implemented as per 6th CPC
with further avenue for promotion.
During the discussions, the union reiterated their demand.
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):

RESTORATION OF HIGHER GRADE POST SURRENDERED IN BRI UNIT
SBC DIVISION.
Time & again this subject is coming for discussion and further review at Headquarter
Zonal/PNM this issue was discussed under item No. 16/09 and approved in subsequent
PNM meeting preamble agenda although PCE had given a commitment to immediately
restore the higher grade post surrendered at BRI unit SBC no tangible action could be
seen for the restoring the post the staff who are aspiring for the promotion at the virtue of
at their retirement.
During each one of the zonal PNM in the opening address by GS/SWRMU it has been
urged to restore the higher grade posts surrendered since the promotional prospects has
been very badly affected to serving employees particularly who are virtue of retirement.
Despite of our hue & cry administration has did nothing other than giving a vague reply
by assuring this Union 52 posts are being created. The BRI staffs are totally lost their
faith due to administration delay in creation of posts.
Hence, it is urged to immediately restore the higher grade posts in light of Board’s
instructions.
M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):
The proposal for creation of 14 posts, which were surrendered in Bridge Unit, Bangalore
Division, was initially proposed to mitigate the difficulty of staff due to surrender of posts
in higher grade as per Railway Board`s letter No. E(MPP) 2009/6/8 dt23.03.2012, to
restore the higher grade posts by surrendering the lowest recruitment grade without
seeking money value from the vacancy Bank. The proposal is under process for
concurrence from the finance.
PCE also explained to the Union that Finance has raised the objection to create the
posts as the same were surrendered prior to 06.01.2007 and the current proposal of
creation of posts will not come in the ambit of Railway Board letter issued during 2012,
which advises to restore the higher grade posts immediately duly surrendering the
lowest level posts.
GS/SWMU has stated that the letter regarding restoration of higher grade posts was
issued during 2012 only, whereas this issue is being discussed since 2009 and earlier
PCEs have assured that the higher grade posts will be restored back.
SWRMU was not satisfied with the above position and this issue was discussed in the
presence of GM again. GM assured that the matter will be looked into.
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):
As per RBE 39/2012 dated 23.03.2012, only the higher grade posts surrendered after
06.03.2007 can be restored surrendering the posts in the lowest recruitment grade from
the cadre. In the above case, the posts were surrendered on 29.03.2006. Hence
restoration of these posts could not be done. However a proposal has been sent to
Sr.DFM/SBC on 03.01.2014 for concurrence for creation of 28 work-charged posts
(MCM-1, Revitter Gr.I-3, Revitter Gr.II-2, Revitter Gr.III-1, Welder GR.I–2, Welder Gr.II–
1, Welder Gr.III-1 and Helper-17 posts. Total – 28 posts).
GS/SWRMU has not agreed for creation of work-charged posts, since Bridge cadre is
permanent and this subject was referred to the General Manager. General Manager has
assured that action will be taken to create some of the revenue posts, which are
considered essential after identifying equivalent matching surrender.
Page 18 of 83
M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)
It was mentioned that proposal for creation of 16 number of Ex.Cadre posts is under
process in SBC Division, but Accounts has not agreed for the same as the Bridge cadre
is a permanent one and work charged posts cannot be created.
This issue has been deliberated in the presence of General Manager also on
10.07.2014. General Manager advised FA&CAO and PCE to look into the matter once
again within the frame work of rules.
GS has pointed out that in case the posts are not being created at Zonal level, a letter
may be given to the Union so that they can take up the matter at Federation level, since
the higher grade posts were surrendered against the instructions of Railway Board,
which is hampering the promotional prospects of existing employees.
MINUTES
Proposals for creation of 16 additional posts were submitted for concurrence to
Sr.DFM/SBC. However, only 14 posts were concurred. The proposal for creation of
additional posts was sent to FA&CAO. FA&CAO had raised queries regarding the
veracity of distribution of posts in tandem with the revised redistribution of posts after
cadre restructuring which was required to be confirmed by Sr.DFM/SBC. Sr.DPO/SBC
has submitted a reply to the points raised by Sr.DFM/SBC vide letter No.
B/P.135/CP/Engg/SBC dated 22.10.2014. The proposal is pending with Sr.DFM/SBC
and once it is cleared by Sr.DFM/SBC this will be again sent to FA&CAO for

CADRE REVIEW OF ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT - MYS DIVISION
Welders and Blacksmiths in the Engineering Department are working in the same grade
without any promotion for more than ten years .Hence this UNION posted this genuine
problem in divisional PNM and remark has been obtained from the administration that
they are waiting for Annual Cadre review from HQ for further process in this regard.
Hence, this Union urges the management for immediate Annual Cadre Review of the
categories in Engineering Department at HQ level.
M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):
BLACKSMITH: After implementation of cadre restructuring w.e.f. 01.11.2003 under RBE
No.177/2003, in the Artisan category of Blacksmith in Engineering Department of MYS
Division, no fresh creation/surrender has been made. Therefore, the posts available
based on the revised percentage w.e.f. 01.11.2003 will remain unchanged
WELDER: The posts of Welder in Engineering Department is maintained as “Ex-Cadre
Post”. The lien of the incumbents detailed in the above table are being maintained in
respective P.Way Units.
In terms of RBE No.177/2003 (Para 2.1), the restructuring is not applicable to “Ex-Cadre
Post”. Therefore, there will be no cadre review of these Welders (Ex-Cadre Post).
Union requested to form a cadre duly clubbing all the ancilinary cadres for the
promotional benefits to the employees.
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):
It was mentioned that the restructuring is not applicable to “Ex-Cadre Post”. GS/SWRMU
has mentioned that these posts cannot be Ex-cadre.
It is to be examined how Mysore Division designated the post of Welder as Ex-Cadre.
After discussions, it was agreed that the matter will be examined further by CPO and
PCE and the full history of classifying these posts as Ex-Cadre will be analyzed de-novo.

SANCTION OF MACP IN 4800, 5400 & 6600 FOR ENGINEERING GRADUATES
APPOINTED AS APPRENTICE CHARGEMAN ‘A’ BEFORE 1986.
The induction of supervisors to Railways was being done through RRBs from the
Diploma holders as Apprentice Mechanics with two years and the graduates as
Apprentice Charge man ‘A’ with one year training.
These Apprentice Mechanics became Chargeman ‘B’ and Apprentice Chargeman ‘A’
became Chargeman ‘A’ after their satisfactory completion of training up to the year 1986
in the mechanical cadre After 1986, the diploma holders were inducted as Junior
Engineer Gr.II trainees and Graduates were inducted as Section Engineer Trainees
(Dy.SS). The hierarchy of technical supervisors in mechanical cadre was as under up to
the 5th CPC:
JE-II
JE
JE-I
SSE.
SE
SSE From 6 th CPC, the hierarchy has been revised as:
While implementing the recommendations of 6th CPC, the two grades viz: JE-I & JE-II
have been merged as JE with GP 4200 in PB-2 and SE & SSE have been merged as
SSE with GP 4600 in PB-2. This merging has been done without visualizing the fate of
technical graduates inducted during the 3rd CPC.
During the implementation of MACP, the financial upgradation for technical graduates
appointed as Apprentice Chargeman ‘A’ should have been started from GP 4800 for first
MACP, 5400 for second MACP and finally 6600 for third MACP.
Because of not going into the details of the qualification of engineers during merging, it
has resulted in some of the graduate engineers recruited as JE-I to loose one financial
up gradation their career.
M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):
Chargemen ‘A’ were inducted in Rs.550-750 Scale in the 3rd PC, which was revised to
Rs.5500-9000 in Vth PC and replaced by GP of Rs.4200 in the 6th PC. The MACP
entitlement will be regulated accordingly.
SWRMU mentioned that only 2 MACPs have been accorded instead of 3 MACPs.
Relevant details will be submitted by the Union and it will be examined further.
Page 20 of 83
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):
Union mentioned that direct recruitment of Chargemen ‘A’ was in Rs.550-750 Scale in
the 3rd PC. Subsequently the direct recruitment quota was upgraded to 6500-10500 in V
PC equivalent to GP 4600 in VI PC. Thus those who were appointed in Rs.550-750
Scale in the 3rd PC should get MACP to GP 4800, 5400 and 6600. DS/Workshop has
agreed to furnish details of such cases. On receipt of the same, it will be examined
further.
M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)
One case of Sri.Keshvan,SSE/MYSS (now retired) has been given by

employees, EMD shed Staff strength is nearly 600 employees and GSD staff strength is
nearly 300 employees. All together total strength is coming nearly to 1500 employees in
this location. Whereas no any health unit is available in these work place. There is a
very difficulty in emergency to take first aid in duty hours if anything’s happened and
Railway colony also available at same place. The Central Railway Hospital is away for
more than 3 kilometers from these three offices and no any frequent bus facilities or
Auto Rickshaws facilities.
In view of the above circumstance, the Union urges to take immediate step to open a
Health Unit at New GM office building to overcome the problems in the office hours as
well as railway family & children’s.
M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):
CMD mentioned that CMS/UBL (Division) has been advised to look into the matter and
put up a proposal as per the needs.
During the discussions, CMD was of the opinion to close the Health Unit at MTS colony
and shift the same to HQ building, for which SWRMU has not agreed, since around 100
families are visiting the MTS Health unit daily. CMD suggested that the feasibility of
working of Health Unit at GM’s office and MTS colony for three days each in a week will
be looked into. CMD invited suggestions from GS/SWRMU on the action to be taken.
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):
During the discussions, GS/SWRMU has mentioned that Health Unit was opened in the
Hubli Divisional Office without consulting the organized labour and the same was closed
on their questioning, putting the blame on the Union. CMD mentioned that the Health
Unit at Hubli Divisional Office was opened without the approval of CMD.
CMD suggested that the feasibility of working of Health Unit at GM’s office and MTS
colony for three days each in a week will be looked into by CMS/UBL, since all the
Health Units are under the Control of CMS.
M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)
CMD has mentioned that arrangements can be made that the doctor of Health Unit/MTS
may be deputed to HQ for half a day. But, GS has strongly objected and told that that
existing working pattern of Health Units, especially at MTS colony should not be
disturbed and suggested that the doctors available at Central Hospital may be deputed
to Headquarters office, which will cater to the needs of EMD Shed as well as GSD.
CMD has further mentioned that the suggestion of GS will be examined and accordingly
a decision will be taken.
MINUTES
Since opening of new Health Unit requires the approval of Railway Board,
CMS/UBL has been advised to prepare necessary proposal for further
processing at Headquarters and Railway Board level.

Hence, this union urges to grant cash award/allowance to Ticket Checking staff for those
who involved to collecting of difference of fare.
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):
CCM mentioned that Cash Awards were granted based on the recommendations of the
Headquarters level committee nominated for the purpose.
GS/SWRMU has stated that the award has been given based on the amount collected, which is
not correct, since the difference of fare for long distance trains will naturally be more and it does
not mean that the other staff have not discharged their duties efficiently. He requested to grant
cash award for all the ticket checking staff irrespective of amount collected.
Thereupon CCM has agreed to refer the matter again to the Committee for re-examination.
M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)
CCM has mentioned that the staff of Bangalore Division have already been given cash
awards, whereas other divisions have not recommended for the same. He also
mentioned that recommendation should be initiated by the respective Division only.
GS once again brought to the notice of CCM that the award has been given based on
the amount collected, which is not correct, since the difference of fare for long distance
trains will naturally be more and it does not mean that the other staff have not
discharged their duties efficiently. He requested to grant cash award for all the ticket
checking staff irrespective of amount collected.
GS has questioned the methodology being followed in awarding the limited staff. CCM
has mentioned that a detailed reply will be given to SWRMU within 15 days on the
criteria on which the particular TTEs were awarded.

Based on Sr.DCM/SBC recommendations, Cash Award has been granted to 50 Ticket

POSTING OF STAFF FOR AC TRIP SHED AS PER RAILWAY BOARD BENCH
MARK
Time and again this union has been raising a demand for posting of required no
of staff to meet prudential/maintenance of AC Trip Shed.
The prescribed requirement of staff for the maintenance of a MEMU rake as per
railway board manpower planning letter No.2001/EL/G/138/3 dated: 05.11.2002 is
7.26 staff per unit i.e. 1 MC + 3 TC accordingly the total requirement for 2 units
i.e. 2 MC + 6 TC works out to 7.26x2=14.52 say 15.

During trip inspection of MEMU, Trip Inspection of AC Locos are not carried
out in AC Loco Trip Shed and only Driver Booking Attentions are carried out due to
shortage of Technicians for AC Loco Attention.
Note: The Above Staff Distribution is a Ideal case without any Leave/Sick/Absent.
Page 26 of 83
Apart from the Normal Manpower Distribution in AC Loco Trip Shed during Week Days,
Staffs are deputed for the following activities.
Daily inspection/Rolling in, Driver Booking attention during evening shift 01 Technician is
deputed at BWT.
For Daily Night Stabling attention of MEMU 01 Technician + 01 Helper is deputed at
BWT.
Once the New MEMU 150002/150003 is inducted in to service, Trip inspection has to be
carried out after six days. At present it is not feasible to maintain the new MEMU rake of
SWR 150002/150003 with the existing staff strength. For the Maintenance of New
MEMU Rake a minimum the additional staffs of 05 Technicians + 07 Helpers are
required.
Further any newly appointed staff from RRC requires time to acquire the skill for
maintaining MEMU/AC Loco, if existing Senior Helpers with experience are promoted as
Technicians, then acute shortage of Technicians can be dealt with when they take
additional responsibility and can be deputed to work with new Helpers where in transfer
of skills takes place in a smooth manner.
Hence it is urged that the required no of additional staff may be posted at the earliest at
AC Loco Trip Shed/SBC and existing vacancy may be filled up, So that both the MEMU
rake is maintained to the expected level without compromising the safety and can run in
good fettle without any disruption to traffic.

DISPARITY.
The sanctioned strength of H & MI posts over the zone is 55 .The previous
pinpointing was done without the knowledge of this elected organized labor and
distributed these posts to divisions on vested interest of administration. According to
CRC report ,the 47% i.e.26 will be in GR.I( GP4600) and remaining 53% i.e.29 in GR.II
(GP.4200) . As per CPO/UBL letter No. SWR(P) HQ/535/Medical/H.I. dated 28.12.2010,
these posts of GR.I are distributed as follows, 10 posts to each UBL and SBC , 03
posts to MYS and 01 post RWF/YNK, a total of 24 posts distributed like this without any
mentioning of 02 remaining posts .As there is anomaly in previous pinpointing which was

pointing with a discussion with this ORGANIZATION and distribute the posts to all
division without any disparity by allotting at least 05 GR.I( in GP of 4600) posts to MYS
division i.e.47% of sanctioned 11 posts of MYS division . MYS division is having six

2, H&MI Gr.II= 8 &, H&MI Gr.III= 14) posts were created after restructuring and they
were not taken for restructuring as they were created after the 07.06.2007. Therefore
those posts continued to be in the respective divisions in the grade as created without
any change. Therefore the posts taken for restructuring in 2007 is 31posts and not

CMD
RECOGNITION OF GROUP OF HOSPITALS AS REFERRAL HOSPITAL AT
HQ LEVEL FOR ENTIRE ZONE.
At present recognition of individual hospital as referral hospitals are being done
at divisional level. Because of this, if a particular facility is not available at a hospital
recognized by a division, the sanction has to come from CMD to approach another
referral hospital of the other division where the particular facility available. This will cause
undue delay and create problems to critical patients. Instead of this, if this recognition is
done with a group of hospitals as referral hospitals at Zonal level for entire zone, this
difficulty can overcome and patients can be referred by CMS of the division as per the
needs of patients and save valuable life.
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):
CMD has stated that presently for availing a particular service of a referral hospital
available in another division, approval by CMD is given by fax without any delay. MD &
all CMSs have also been further advised to refer a patient in emergency immediately,
and obtain post–facto sanction of CMD later-on.
GS/SWRMU has explained the difficulties being faced by the relatives of employee in
taking the patient to the referral hospital after completing all the formalities especially in
case of referral from Hubli Division and requested CMD that the referral to Bangalore
area hospital should be made directly without routing through CMS/Bangalore again.
CMD has agreed to advise Mysore and Hubli divisions to initiate proposal to have tie up
directly with the referral hospitals.
M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)
This subject was deliberated at length. CMD mentioned that the approval of Railway
Board is necessary for the 1st and 6th renewal of contract of referral hospitals. Hence, he
has agreed that the proposals for renewal of contracts will be initiated two months in
advance of expiry of contract, in case the approval is to be given by General Manager
and six months in advance of expiry of contract, in case the approval has to be obtained
from Railway Board to avoid hardship to the employees.
MINUTES
Approval of Railway Board is necessary for 1 st and 6th term for renewal of
recognition of referral hospitals. Accordingly proposals are processed for
renewal/extension before 02 months in advance of expiry date in case of GM’s
approval and before 06 months in advance of expiry date in case of approval
from Railway Board.
GS/SWRMU has made a point that Headquarters should have full control of the
referral hospitals and referring to Bangalore divisional hospital again should be
stopped forthwith, which is nothing but wasting of time .

formation and Sr.EDPM is working whose duties are unknown.
b) Parent Railways of SWR viz: SCR & SR had transferred money value of
Sr.EDPM/Engineers; those posts are not yet created / manned as on date ie
even after ten years of formation of SWR.
In absence of the above, there are delays & irregularities in the Bills. For

PROVISION OF RESERVATION COUNTER AT PREMISES OF HUBLI
WORKSHOP
Hubli workshop is having more than 3000 employees working which is not
provided with reservation counter whereas the Headquarters and division do not have
more than 1000 employees working where they are provided with separate reservation
counters.
Hence this Union urges the administration to provide separate reservation
counter at Hubli Workshop premises.
M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):
It was stated that Railway Board vide letter No.2006/C&IS/PRS/Non-Cash/28 dated
22.11.2010 and 12.01.2011 has permitted for opening only one PRS non-cash/enquiry
terminal at each Zonal Headquarters. However, one non-cash PRS counter at New
Zonal Headquarters building at Gadag Road and one more PRS counter at DRM’s
building have been provided for the exclusive use of staff. Staff may make best use of
these existing two counters which are located within a distance of 2 KMs. In addition, the
main PRS at Station is also less than a kilometre from Railway Workshop.
During the discussions, GS/SWRMU highlighted the benefits in opening the PRS
counter at Hubli Workshop, for which CCM has stated that we may not be able to
operate the counter due to shortage of manpower even if it is opened. GS/SWRMU has
informed that the manpower will be provided to operate the counter from Hubli
Workshop, if CCM provides the basic infrastructure for which CCM has agreed.
M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)
After lengthy discussions, CCM has mentioned that the staff of Workshop may not be
able to perform the duties at Reservation Counter though they are qualified technically
as it requires not only technical knowledge, but also the knowledge about the
commercial rules and circulars. But, CCM has agreed in principle to open the counter by
finding the men from Commercial Department itself.
MINUTES
There has been no change in the situation since the last PNM since at this moment
trained staff are not available for manning the counter, keeping in view the vacancies in
the ECRC cadre. However, with the coming into operation of more JTBS, STBS and
ATVMs we are likely to have additional personnel and efforts will be made to provide the
counter by this year end.

conducting all the required Medical investigation it was detected that he had
problem in his heart and the Central Hospital/UBL directed him to Rly
Hospital/Perambur in Southern Railway .and the report was positive and he is not
fit for Loco pilot post and the doctors at CH/UBL decided to make him unfit for
drivers post on 26-4-2005. However unfit certificate was issued on 20-7-2005 no
obvious reasons and after Medically decategorized Mohammed H. Butler had
voluntarily retired seeking CG appointment to his son Mohammed Sharif but the
administration did not consider his request taking that 5 years left over service
should be there from the date of decategorization. Hence this union would like to
highlight that the medical board had already taken a decision that the employee
is unfit for driver’s post on 26.4-2005 but the unfit certificate was issued on 20-72005. The party is eligible for CG as he is having 5 years service from the date of
decision taken that he is not taken to duty ie, 26-4-2005 and in this connection
CMS has given a clear letter No. M/MD/84/Md. HB/12 dated : 2-8-2012 .

were minors. The widow Smt. K.P.Rajamma was informed to apply for

26.7.2012. Accordingly, when the widow has sought for appointment on
compassionate grounds vide her appln dt. 30.7.2012, ie immediately on attaining
majority by her son and without sending him for further education, in view of
financial difficulties she was facing. But, her request has been rejected stating
that her financial condition is satisfactory since she was working as Teacher in
the Govt.Primary School. Her earnings as school teacher is not sufficing her
needs to look after the education of her daughter and she has incurred loans for
treatment of cancer. She herself is suffering from perennial health problems and
spending nearly 2000/- per month for treatment. She has incurred loans to the
tune of 11 lakhs for treatment and most of the settlement amounts has been
used for clearing the same and now left with no cash on hand. She has also
taken loan from SBI 12.5 lakhs for constructing a small house with one floor in
outskirts of the city and being lone woman with 2 minor children, she has asked
her cousin to stay in the first floor for her protection. She is not getting any
income ( rent) from the house. Further there is no income from the ancestral
property of uncultivated land.
As the widow is also aged and suffering from perennial health problems and the
teacher job is not of permanent nature and the children are too young, there will
be none to look after them in case of her death. Hence, the case is genuine
since the finance condition is not satisfactory. Therefore the union urges to offer
appointment on compassionate grounds immediately to Mr. Nithin Sagar, S/o
Late Sri. T.S.Jayappa, ex.Hd.TE/CTI/O/DVG MYS divn.

REPLACING ALL ASBESTOS ROOFS WITH SUITABLE NON-TOXIC MATERIAL OF
RAILWAY QUARTERS OF THE DIVISIONS
Exposure to asbestos may increase the risk of asbestosis, other nonmalignant
lung and pleural disorders, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other cancers. People may
be exposed to asbestos in their workplace, their communities, or their homes. If products
containing asbestos are disturbed, tiny asbestos fibers are released into the air. When
asbestos fibers are breathed in, they may get trapped in the lungs and remain there for a
long time. Over time, these fibers can accumulate and cause scarring and inflammation,
which can affect breathing and lead to serious health problems. The employees living in
Qtrs with asbestos sheeted roof (fully or partially like kitchen, bathroom or verandah) will
have exposure to asbestos which may affect their health. Hence this UNION- Pioneer of
the employees’ welfare activities- demands the administration to replace the asbestos
sheet with suitable non-toxic material for all railway quarters immediately.

CONDUCTING OF GENERAL DEPARTMENT COMPETITIVE EXAM FOR FILLING UP
OF VACANCIES IN GRADUATE QUOTA IN COMMERCIAL & OPERATING
DEPARTMENT:
The GDCE Exam to full up graduate quota has not been held from quite a long
time to fill up the vacancies of ECRC, ASM’s & TC’s and other categories from serving
graduates, whereas one such selection was held during erstwhile Southern Railway
days when SBC Division was part of Southern Railway. Since then no such selections
have been held ever. As the administration is aware that the new RRC candidates are
well educated and having graduation qualification even in some of them are master
graduates and they are working as group ‘D’ employees. If the administration conducts
GDCE selections, it is a golden opportunity for serving graduate employees to excel
themselves in the competitive exam to seek better carrier progression for them. This was
one of DRM/PNM agenda in 33rd PNM of SBC division and the remarks furnished were
that the matter has been referred to HQ. Hence this urges to conduct GDCE selections
to felicitate promotional opportunity to serving Group-D graduates.
MINUTES
Railway Board have extended the scheme of GDCE vide their letter No.E(NG)I2011/PM1/2 dated 12/09/2014(RBE.No.98/2014) upto 31.03.2016. Action will be taken

REVISING THE CREW CHANGE OVER POINT FROM GTL TO DMM
From the inception of SBC Division the Crew was working up to DMM & back.
During 2009, SBC Division administration have made a experiment to change the crew
change over point from DMM to GTL & DHNE. As the administration is aware the
Running Staff are coming under continuous roster classification (8 hrs) some of the
following trains the working hours is more than 8 hrs.
T.No.12786, 11302 & 12649 etc.
Apart from the above the Loco Pilots are forced to adhere two different railways
G&RS in a single train movement working for more than 8 hrs at a stretch and further out
station rest more than 24 hrs is nothing but waste of man hours of the crew. The Loco
Pilots are making a hue and cry with the administration to reduce the working hours of
Running Staff by the way of changing the crew change over point from GTL to DMM to
avoid stress and strain for the most sensitive/safety cadre. The actual working hours to
DMM works out to 5 hrs. The basic criteria to reckon the working hours of the Running
Staff is average fortnightly working hours. Prior to extension of crew change over point
the average working hours was not less than 96 hrs for fortnightly even after extended
crew run also it works out to same hrs. Actually speaking due to outstation detention for
a longer hours is causing loss of man hours the same crew can be utilized for working
return train with minimum outstation rest to avoid outstation stay for longer hours.
As per the SPAD minutes circulated vide Boards Letter 2004/M(L)/466/7101
dated: 14.06.2012 part ‘B’ para 6 reads “Links should be made in such a way so that not
more than 2 to 3 continuous nights, all efforts should be made to reduce the working
hours for 6 hours duty during 22.00 hrs to 06.00 hrs”.
The Existing links at GTL section all the trains during the night the actual working
hours are more than 8 hrs. Hence, this union urges to cut off the crew change over point
at DMM instead of GTL & DHNE.

PROBLEMS OF LOCO RUNNING STAFF OF SBC DIVISION
(a)
Difficulties of SBC Running Staff in working both the tractions i.e. Diesel &
Electrical (AC).
In terms of instructions contained in Boards Letter No.2004/M(L)/466/7101 dated:
14.06.2012 the minutes of the meeting of SPAD section ‘C’ para 13 mentions that
“Driver Should work in one traction Diesel or AC Electrical. Whereas SBC Division Loco
Pilot and Assistant Loco Pilot’s are working in a dual traction i.e. both Electrical and
Diesel which is creating lot of inconvenience and confusion for Loco Running Staff while
working the trains. Apart from this the Loco Running Staff man power is getting wasted
in the event of deputing the LP/ALP for regular refresher course in both i.e. Electrical &
Diesel. As the age catches out the memory of individual get reduced. Added to the
above problems, amongst electrical locomotives there are different verities in electrical
locomotives i.e. (WAM4, WAP, WAG5A, WAG7, WAP7, WAP9) and in Diesel Loco’s
(WDM2, WDM3D, WDM3A, WDG3A, WDG4, WDP4, WDP4B). Hence, this union urges
to make a separate link for Electrical AC & Diesel and exclusively book the staff
separately for Electrical & Diesel.

beyond the specified tenure of three years, this has blocked the promotional opportunity
of other eligible deserving capable Running Staff opportunity to work in the Ex cadre
post. Hence, this union urges to conduct regular selections duly calling for the volunteers
to select the instructors and repatriate the incumbents who were drafted on temporary
measure without any selection module.

In every given opportunity this union has been making a submission in each forum to

by the administration and no tangible action could be seen with regards to creation of
posts in the Ticket Checking cadre. Day by day the Train Services are getting

NON-TRANSPARENCY IN THE FUNCTIONING OF RRC :
What is the position of vacancies correctly is not placed and also they are
conducting selections, there is no transparency. Totally we are having doubt on the
outside agency which is allotting the question paper system and the booklets. After the
panel succeeding both tests ie. The 50% people was deleted from the offer of
appointments. Wherever, the SWRMU asking some clarifications, it is not answered
properly. So it shows everything is kept in dark and not in transparency to the union.
As such, the union urge that RRC to function should be fully transparent and this
kind of rejecting the candidates after qualifying in both the tests is not appreciated by the
union. The extra 20% taken should be taken care off atleast in next notification, the
retirement vacancies and anticipated vacancies are not taken correctly. Due to which
more than 4000 vacancies available continuously even after RRC started functioning.
How will these 4000 vacancies be filled up and the railwaymen are put to hardship.

Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC), SWR, Hubli is functioning as per the guidelines issued
by Railway Board vide letter No.E(NG)II/96/RR-1/62 dated 18.07.2005 (RBE
No.121/2005).
In terms of Para 4 of the Railway Board’s letter, the RRC will notify the vacancies
through Employment Notification by open advertisement through leading National and
local News papers as per the requirement submitted through Headquarter by the
Divisions/Units. The conduction of RRC exams will be as per the guidelines at para 6.0
to 6.11 of the said Railway Board’s letter.
As per the guidelines of Railway Board issued vide letter No. E(NG)II/96/RR-1/62 dated
29.09.2005/03.10.2005 (RBE No.166/2005) in Substitution to para 7.5 of RBE
No.121/2005, it is mentioned as under:
(i) If the number of vacancies is less than or equal to 1500 (One thousand five
hundred), number persons to be called for PET should be 04 (four) times;
and
(ii) If the number of vacancies is greater than 1500 (One thousand five hundred), the
number of persons called for PET should be 3 (three) times the notified
vacancies.
Since the number of candidates qualifies being over 80% from amongst those called for
PET, there could be more than 50% candidates not considered for empanelment after
PET. Further it is mentioned that, there is no provision for considering the candidates
who were called for document verification against 20% over and above the notified
number of vacancies for empanelment against the vacancies notified in the next
notification.

DELAY IN REFERRAL HOSPITALS ON THIS RAILWAY
There is a delay in extending the contract of referral hospitals on this railway due
to which the patients are put to untold hardship towards getting timely medical treatment
and expenses. The medical expenses incurred are also not reimbursed immediately.
Therefore, the union urges that advance action is required to be taken before expiry of
the contract, so that the continuity of referral hospitals can be ensured throughout the
year.
MINUTES
The following hospitals are recognized for referral of railway beneficiaries.
SBC Division: 1) BGS Global Hospital, Bangalore
2) Apollo Hospital, Bangalore
3) St.John’s Hospital, Bangalore (in process at Rly.Bd)
4) Narayana Hrudayalaya, Bangalore

THE RAILWAY QUARTERS, STREET LIGHTS & ROADS ARE VERY POORLY
MAINTAINED IN DIVISIONAL HEADQUARTERS AND WAY SIDE RAILWAY
ACCOMMODATIONS
Poor maintenance of railway accommodations. The accommodations provided
to Group-C & D staff, the total in the SW Rly is in inhuman living conditions. In rainy
season lot of railway accommodations are badly leaking, immediately they are not
attending the repairs, roads repairs very very bad conditions in Hubli Down Chawl,
Cement Chawl, Vidyaranyanagar, Vinobanagar, Rail Nagar, MTS Colony, Mantur Road,
Street lights 80 to 90% lights are not in burning conditions. IN these conditions the
railwaymen families should live unhealthy conditions affecting various diseases like
Malaria, Chikun Gunaria, etc., due to mosquitoes, since colonies are not kept clean.
Why because all this is privatized and staff strength is brought down heavily this could
not be maintained properly. Remedial action is required immediately to safe guard the
interests of railwaymen working round the clock and railwaymen families, children should
not suffer on account of total failure of administration. Recently, I have brought to the
notice of our GM/SWR, particularly here the Colony Committees are not functioning and
if at all functioning at one or two places, some of the supervisors or officers are not
attending. CMS Dr.Himachal who is the Incharge as Chairman of Colony Committee for
Hubli with other officials is not at all taking any responsibility to keep upto the mark for
people to live healthily. Then only the railwaymen can give more concentration in their
duties than their domestic problems.
MINUTES
Detailed inspection of the Hubli Area Colonies was carried out by HQ Officers/Electrical
Department and necessary inputs were given to initiate action by the Division.
Sr.DEE/UBL has confirmed that more than 90% of street lights are working in UBL
Railway colonies and the working status of the street lights is furnished below. Further, a
proposal for provision of additional lighting arrangements and improving earthing
arrangement during 2014-15 in the Hubli Area Colonies at a total cost of Rs. 1.89 lakhs
has been initiated by Sr.DEE/UBL.

Non supply of proper and standard medicines and behaviour towards retired
patients –
There are lot of complaints from patients and retired patients, that the behaviours
of the railway hospital Doctors at Mysore Railway Hospital is very bad and often the
Union are receiving some complaints and we also brought so many times to the notice of
all concerned officers but nothing has been done so far. Immediate intervention of
CMD is very much necessary to ensure supply of proper & standard medicines regularly
and also the behaviour of Doctors especially at MYS RH should be proper, particularly
with retired employees.
MINUTES
CMD has counselled the doctors at RH/MYS in connection with their behaviour
with railway beneficiaries including retired employees.
Medicines are being
made available. One lady doctor has been posted to HU/AP. Apart from this,
CMPs are engaged in the vacancies of IRMS doctors.
GS mentioned that this will be discussed separately with CMD.

FILLING UP OF THE VACANCIES OF WELFARE INSPECTORS.
There are vacancies of welfare inspectors existing on all the divisions for
considerable time. On UBL division the outcome of a selection held about one & half
years back is not yet known. It is understood that the papers were taken by vigilance
department and though a year has passed, nothing has been communicated to the
division and in view of this the division is not in a position to hold fresh selections. Filling
up of all vacancies of welfare inspectors is quite essential as their services are required
to ensure the welfare of the employees on the railway.
Therefore, the union urges to conduct selections on all divisions for Steam-I &
Stream-II immediately to fill up all the vacancies.
MINUTES
All the Divisions have been advised to fill up vacancies of S&WI.
