WR Plays A Spoiler


So what really lead the Western Railway motor-men to call on a strike? They want the Government to fulfil their demands, but what demands are these really that never get fulfilled and always end up without a proper solution, time and time again, these motor-men have disrupted the day-to-day journey of the commuters.
But what really lead to this sudden strike, at such a time when people are making or are about to make their way back home, no doubt dirty politics is being played, but at what cost?
Almost 180 motormen of Mumbai's Western Railways struck work demanding better facilities. Their wants included assistant motormen, increase in wages and better mechanism of leaves.
The drivers also protested over the way the management unfairly blamed them for railway accidents. They believed these mishaps took place due to faulty machinery rather than laxity on their part.
All this has happened before, the government had back then sorted out on a few issues, but still nothing has really been done. But those who suffer will always be the citizens who strive to get back home on time just to spend some quality time with their families.
