2. In view of aforesaid, there should not be any room for complacency on the part of the Railway administrations and all necessary stringent steps must be taken to ensure discipline and smooth functioning of rail movement. It must be ensured that Railway Servants need to seek necessary permissions from the Competent Authority on their respective Railways/Production Units to leave their headquarters.
3. Their particular attention should be drawn to relevant penal provisions i.e. Section 173, 174 and 175 of the Railways Act, 1989 which are attracted in case of abandoning train without authority, obstructing running of train and endangering the safety of persons by disobeying rules etc.
4. In case any Railway Servant participates in the aforementioned protests including `Demonstration’, a report indicating the number of Railway Servants who took part in such protests should be conveyed to Board’s office on the evening of 19th July, 2019.
