Railways said to deduct Rs 38 from the salary for ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’, the railway workers got angry!

August 15 is due. There is an atmosphere of patriotism everywhere. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of independence, the government has run the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign. If it is a campaign of the government and it is a matter of patriotism, then the government employees will definitely be involved. That is why every railway employee should hoist the tricolor in his house, special arrangements have been made for it. North Central Railway itself is providing tricolor to all its employees. And for this, 38 rupees will be deducted from the salary of all the employees of this zone.

By the way, you remember 15th August of childhood. When the school used to give a contract to a tailor that all the children would buy the special dress of 15th August from him. All the children used to come as white in clothes bought from the same shop. Girls had a different privilege to put a tricolor band in the top. So the Northern Railway has made some arrangement like school. Employees’ homes, whether small, big, own or rented, will fly the same tricolor.

dissatisfaction of employees
After the order, voices of displeasure are also being heard. The people of North Central Railway Employees Union have expressed strong displeasure over this arrangement. According to Divisional Minister Chandan Singh, the purchase of flags is to be done from the Employees Benefit Fund i.e. Staff Benefit Fund and later the money will be sent back to this fund after deducting it from the salary. Chandan Singh says that the purchase of flags should be done from the fund itself, the salary of the employees should not be deducted.

Now there is also a debate that the flag of 38 rupees has not become a bit expensive! If you go to the BJP office and buy the flag, you will get it for 20 rupees only. Sitting at home, the postal department is also ready to give the flag. For that the postal department is also asking for Rs 25 only. So why is a flag worth Rs 38 being sold to railway employees?

Meanwhile, the statement of the CPRO of the Railways has come to the fore. He has said that the order has come that Rs 38 will be deducted from the salary of the employees, and the flag will be provided by the Railways.

Well, let us tell you that the Railways has given the contract to make the flag to a private agency, like the school tellers used to give. Although the railways is ‘now’ under the government itself.
