The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,


Dear Coms.,


Sub: Feedback of the discussion held between the Railway Board and the Federation
                    (AIRF) 


Various pending issues which are agitating the minds of the Railwaymen and are problamatic 
as also implementation of LARSGESS in its true spririt have been discussed with the Official Side, i.e. 
Railway Board by AIRF on date. 


Member Staff, Addl. Member Staff, Adviser(IR), EDE(N) and EDPC-I, Railway Board were 
present from the Official Side and the Staff Side(AIRF) was represented by Coms. Umraomal Purohit,
President AIRF and Shiva Gopal Mishra, General Secretary AIRF. 


After prolonged discussions, it has been agreed by the Official Side  that the Written Test 
shall be dispensed in LARSGESS and orders for doing away with Physical Efficiency Test(PET) 
shall be implemented retrospectively. It was also agreed that the candidates who were declared 
failed in the Physical Efficiency Test and Written Test shall also be given one more chance 
without PET and Written Test. 


You must appreciate that it is a great achievement of AIRF and orders to this effect are likely to 
be issued in due course as the aforementioned changes in LARSGESS shall require approval of the 
Railway Board as well as Hon’ble Minister for Railways. 


2.  The issue of absorption of the quasi-administrative offices staff in the Railways was also 
discussed at length and there is every likelihood of some breackthrough. As soon as new norms are 
finalised, the same shall be timely informed   to all of you. 


With fraternal greetings!

Comeradely Yours

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
