Reasonable demands of railway staff to be considered: Finance Adviser

Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed said that the reasonable reasons of railway workers for overtime have been accepted. Now the relevant ministry will look into the other demands.

The adviser said this while talking to reporters after a meeting at his secretariat office on Tuesday (January 28).

He said reasonable demands from railway employees had been addressed several days ago. "Why they are continuing their protests is up to them."

If any reasonable requests come to us, the Ministry of Finance will not deny them. If there are issues related to humanitarian reasons or employment, appropriate action will be taken, he added.

Earlier this morning the train drivers and their staff of the Bangladesh Railway started a nationwide indefinite work abstention for running allowance and other demands.
