Dhanbad, March 19: The East Central Railway Karmchari Union (ECRKU) Dhanbad unit has postponed its day-long demonstration scheduled tomorrow across the Dhanbad Railway Division in support of different long pending demands of employees.
ECRKU Dhanbad unit leaders Somen Dutta, Netaji Subhash and NK Khawas jointly issued a notification today in the late afternoon regarding the postponement of the demonstration. The notification has been issued on the directive of Central Committee president DK Pandey and organisational general secretary Md Ziauddin.

“After withdrawing the Model Code of Conduct, Union leaders again held a meeting and decided on a fresh date for the demonstration. ECRKU, under the banner of a different federation, had earlier announced a nationwide rail strike on May 1 over the implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), but they withdrew the decision after the railway ministry assured them it would set up a committee for assessment.
