1. Discussion between AIRF and Full Board on 21st and 22nd July, 2016 on the Railways issues, included in the Strike Charter of Demands.

(a) Manpower Planning
The issue will be discussed in the next PREM Meeting at the Railway Board’s level.

(b) Fixation of Minimum Wage
It has been decided that a committee would be appointed to decide the issue.

(d) Merger of Technician Gr. I and II for Technician Gr. I

Railway Board stated that, as per guidelines issued by the Ministry of Finance, no existing scale in the cadre can be dropped. After two days deliberations, it has been decided to restructure the cadre as follow:-
