The Trivandrum Division running staff are spearheading an indefinite day and night Dharna in front of Trivandrum (TVC) DRM office. It is the 5th day on 8 March.

The Indefinite Day and Night Dharna in front of the DRM office Trivandrum of Southern Railway started from 4 March 2025 and is still continuing on the 5th day. The adamant attitude of the DRM in not resolving the grievances paved the way for this continuous agitation by running staff. They are demanding:

  1. Re-instate Deepuraj, LPG, who has awarded with Compulsory Retirement for claiming rest.
  2. Modify the inhuman crew link introduced recently.

Based on the discussion held today, 8 March with Sr DEE/OP/TVC and ADEE/OP and the assurance given by them, it is decided to wind up the indefinite dharna.

  1. 183 men link will be implemented within one week.
