Railway employees formerly under the erstwhile Waltair Division can expect positive resolutions regarding seniority, promotions, and transfers following a high-level Railway Board meeting in New Delhi on July 24.

Senior railway trade union leader Chalasani Gandhi expressed strong confidence that authorities will soon issue equitable orders addressing these service concerns.
