Dear Sir,

ii) Railway Board’s letter No. E(NG)I-2014/PM7/1 dated 18/12/2015.
iii) NFIR’s letter No. II/2/Part VII dated 28/12/2015.

v) NFIR’s letter No. II/2/Part VII dated 20/01/2016 & 18/04/2016.

Kind attention is invited to NFIR’s PNM Item No. 5/2014 and Federation’s letter dated 18/04/2016 addressed to Railway Board, copy endorsed to AM (Staff) etc.

The General Secretary, NFIR met MM on 27th July 2016 and explained the case in detail and the necessity to grant revised percentage ratio of DR, LDCE and Promotion Quota at 25%, 25% & 50% respectively for providing relief to the helpers working in Diesel/Electric Loco/EMU Sheds in the Railways as their entry qualification is Matriculation or Matriculation + ITI or Apprenticeship. After discussions, the MM suggested that the concerned Directorate may put up the file to him for decision.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Board (EDE/N) to put up the case to MM duly highlighting. the points brought out by NFIR in its agenda to facilitate the Board (MM) to grant parity in promotion opportunities to the helpers of Diesel/Electric Loco Sheds/EMU Car Sheds etc., considering the fact that in almost all other Technical Departments the promotion quota is 50%from helper to Technician Gr.III.

Yours faithfully,
