Rail employees' union calls for 72-hr relay hunger strike
All India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) has called a 72-hour relay hunger strike, wherein protestors take turns to go without food, starting Tuesday to protest against the non-implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations. Claiming that Railways was moving towards privatisation, the AIRF said government has not provided benefits laid down for employees by the pay commission since 2016.
