BR logical demand already met: adviser

Shawdesh Desk:

Bangladesh interim government finance adviser Salehuddin Ahmed on Tuesday said they had already met the logical demand for overtime payment by the Bangladesh Railway for its running staff members.

For the other demands like pension and gratuity the government has to follow the rule applied for other state-run agencies, he told reporters after a meeting of the advisory council on government purchase at secretariat.

His comments came against the backdrop a suspension of rail communications since early hours of Tuesday amid an indefinite period work abstention of the running staff members of the BR demanding restoration of their previous benefits for working extra hours.

The finance adviser said there were many demands from many state-run agencies.

Citing the financial constraints, he added that only logical demands were met.

As no trains are running, the railway introduced BRTC bus services at important rail stations across the country to carry passengers.
