                                                 Dated: April 19, 2012

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)
