Kind attention of Railway Board is invited to Federation's letter dated 2910812017wherein it was requestedto take action for covering the remaining categoriesof P. Way staff such as Black Smiths,Welders etc., for payment of Risk & Hardship Allowance as their duties/responsibilitiesare also risky and hardships prone due to the fact that they are required to work physically on the P. Way tracks and that the 7'CPC has unfortunately failed to consider the role of these staff in laying/maintenanceof Railway tracks. However, decision for payrrent of Risk & Hardship Allowance in favour of theseP. Way staff working (Black Smith, Welders etc.,) is yet to be taken by Board. A copy of Federation'sletter dated2910812017 on the subjectis enclosedfor ready reference. ' Further to above,Federationfinds that the jobs performedby Pointsmen,Traffic Gate Keepers,Traffic Assistants(Operating Department- working in Yards, stationsetc.,), Staff of TRD/OIIE, AC Coaches,EMU Car Sheds,Electrical Workshops,General Servicesand S&T Staff are alsorisky consequentlythey are prone to accidentsand health hazatds.Thesecategorieshave not been coveredfor Risk & HardshipAllowance under the Risk & Hardship Matrix (Cell R3H2) due to the reasonthat the 7mCPC had failed to give weightageto the nature of duties and responsibilitiesbeing performed by these staff. The Railway Board also has not taken initiative to highlight the Risk and Hardship conditions before the Committee on Allowances headedby the FinanceSecretary,Governmentof India. NFIR, therefore,requeststhe Railway Board to kindly anange to initiate action for covering P. Way Staff such as Black Smiths, Welders, Helpers, Pointsmen,Traffic. Gate Keepers,Traffic Assistants(Operating Department), Electrical Staff working in TRD/OHE, AC Coaches,EMU Car Sheds,Electrical Workshops, General Servicesand S&T Staff under Risk and Hardship Matrix (Cell R3H2) for paymentof Risk & Hardship Allowance @ Rr. 27001-p.m. Action taken in the matter may kindly be apprisedto the Federationsoon.
