Bonus was announced for railway employees
Earlier, the central government had announced bonus for Indian Railways. However, JCM Staff Side Officer Shiv Gopal Mishra expressed disappointment over the bonus amount. According to him, the number of employees in the railways has decreased. This has increased the workload. He said that the employees have done more work, so the bonus amount should also be higher.
3% DA is also to be announced
