Join the campaign programme against the privatisation of the Indian Railways - CHQ calls on the circle and district unions.

After coming to power for the second time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi government has drawn an action plan for the first 100 days. An important aspect of this 100 day programme includes major steps for the privatisation of the Indian Railways. The plan includes:-

• Handover running of trains to private players.
• Increase passenger and freight charges by withdrawing subsidies to provide ‘level playing field’ to the private players.
• Privatisation of the railway production units, the jewels of Indian Railways, through corporatisation.
• Destroying the indigenous production capacity by buying trains from private companies and keeping our production units idle.

We are enclosing herewith the statement issued by the CITU on the privatisation of Indian Railways. CHQ directs all it's circle and district unions to actively participate in all the campaign programme, being organised by the Railway / Central trade unions, against the privatisation of the Indian Railways.
