Since the revised TRCA is based on increased minimum working hours, which takes prospective effect, hence retrospective revision of enhanced working hours is not possible.

GDS are not required to perform duty beyond a maximum period of 5 hours in a day. One of the conditions for engagement as GDS is that  they  ought  to  have  other  sources  of  income,  besides  allowances  paid  by  the Government,  for  adequate  means  of  livelihood  for  themselves  and  their  family.    The livelihood of the GDS is safeguarded under Article 311 (2) of the Constitution of India.

- (c) the  details  of  the  action  taken  by  the  Government  on  these complaints zone-wise; and
- (d) the outcome of the action taken by the Government in this regard?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI RAJEN GOHAIN)

(a): It is not a fact that the Sahayaks (Coolies) normally charge higher rate from rail passengers. However, there have been few instances of Sahayaks(Coolies) charging higher than prescribed rates from passengers.

2/-

## (b):   15 cases have been reported over Indian Railways during last one year. The details are as under:

| Zonal Railway   |   No. of complaints |
|-----------------|---------------------|
| Northern        |                  10 |
| Western         |                  03 |
| Southern        |                  01 |
| South Central   |                  01 |
| Total           |                  15 |

No case has been reported from remaining Zonal Railways.

(c)  and  (d):  Depending  on  the  gravity  of  the  complaint,  action  viz suspension/termination  of  the  badge  given  to  Sahayaks  for  carrying the  luggage  of  the  passenger,  stoppage  of  privilege  passes  for  free travel in trains etc have been taken against the defaulting Sahayaks. In some cases, the charges could not be substantiated. In addition to this,  surprise  checks  conducted  from  time  to  time,  announcement through  public  address  systems  on  prescribed  porterage  charges during arrival/departure of the trains and display of porterage charges at  conspicuous  places  on  the  stations  has  resulted  in  decreasing trend of complaints from passengers.
