Resolve the demands of railway workers peacefully.. They too have families to feed .. If all other professionals get good salaries why not rail way workers . Life is hard now all prices gone up .. This is bad for our torurism industry.. The more quicker we resolve this the more better. Mps can't drive trains neither others only trained drivers can do it . Don't delay listen to them and resolve all issues
