Press Release

All India Loco Running Staff (SER) expresses concern over the continued deaths of trackmaintainers and requests all loco running staff to constantly blow the whistle at curves in the track, and this is already being implemented.

We also request the Railways to provide the Rakshak device to all trackmaintainers. Where there are curves, one trackman should look out for trains so that he can inform fellow trackmen who are working and prevent accidents.

Yours,
S. P. Singh
