The Railway Station Master’s Union says that if a solution is not provided to the issue of recruitment and promotion of station masters within the next 72 hours, they will take immediate professional action.
Its chairman, Mr. Sumedha Ratnayake, mentions that the Cabinet has approved the granting of grade promotion allowances for the posts of Railway Guards and Station Master every five years.
The Chairman who said that the General Manager of Railways has informed that after approving the recruitment procedure for Station Masters, the promotion procedure should also be started, said that the recruitment procedure for the position of Station Master has not been submitted for approval due to the opposition of the Railway Guards Association.
