Railways likely to go on strike in Feb-Mar

The All India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) is likely to go on an indefinite strike in Feb-Mar to push through its long-pending demands, said AIRF general secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra. The decision came after over 96% employees voted in favour of the move last week. If the AIRF goes ahead, it will be the first major strike in railways after 1974.
