Railway Employees' Hunger Strike Enters Third Day in Coimbatore

Over 300 railway employees in Coimbatore continue their hunger strike for the third day in protest against the new pension scheme and various other demands.


Coimbatore: The hunger strike by railway employees outside the Coimbatore railway station has entered its third day today. The strike, which began on the 8th, is a protest against the new pension scheme, among other demands. The protest has seen the participation of over 300 railway workers, indicating significant unrest in the railway sector.

The employees are voicing their opposition to the new pension scheme and demanding the implementation of various welfare measures. The ongoing strike has created a noticeable presence in the area, drawing attention to the concerns and demands of the railway employees.

As the strike continues, it underscores the growing dissatisfaction among railway workers regarding recent changes in their employment and pension terms. The impact of the strike is being felt, with disruptions likely to affect railway operations if the protest continues.

The railway authorities and the government are yet to issue a response or engage in negotiations with the striking employees. The situation calls for immediate attention to address the grievances of the railway staff and prevent further escalation of the protest.
