GIVING A 48-hour ultimatum to the railway administration to punish the errant RPF jawans involved in thrashing a railway guard, the guards of NE Railway Gorakhpur handed over a memorandum to the SP Railway and said if the accused were not suspended, they would go on strike and the movement of trains would be hit.
In the delegation, guards Barauni, Sonpur, Muzaffarpur, Gonda and Basti expressed their anger before SP GRP and said the suspension of the RPF jawans was a must to pacify the guards. They said if they did not get justice they would resort to strike.
