Railway officials seek transfer outside Gujarat

At least 22 officials have sought the help of the Western Railway Mazdoor Sangh (WRMS) to secure a transfer outside the zone.

"On Saturday, I received a letter from Shamim Khan, who was an inspector with the Sabarmati railway station and had fled to Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh after his quarter in Ahmedabad was burnt down," WRMS general secretary J G Mahurkar said over phone from Baroda.

Khan has requested a transfer to Ranchi.

He planned to write a letter to Western Railway general manager V D Gupta to 'entertain these cases as railway officials belonging to the minority community are no longer in a position to return to Ahmedabad and resume duties'.

Most of the railway staffers were residents of Kalupur and Sabarmati areas, he said.

Meanwhile, according to reports, officials of banks and other organisations like the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), have also sought transfers out of Gujarat.
