Over 1.5 lakh 'safety category' jobs in Railways remain vacant amid rising train safety concerns.
"Fifteen percent of the posts for loco pilots are vacant. It is a critical category post. They don't get adequate rest as well as leaves."
"The difference in temperature inside and outside the engine is 3 degrees. These days, when the outside temperature is 48 degrees, loco pilots work at 51 degrees. The railways had promised us that they would get air conditioning installed in all engines but they didn't do that."
10 plus years of BJP government, but they will never take responsibility for anything and blame everything on others.
