Sub: Use of Railway premises/ Institutes/ Clubs etc by outside parties.

1.     As per para 2817 of IREM, the General Managers are competent to frame rules with regard to the running of Railway Institutes and Clubs taking into account the local requirements of railway administration and other circumstances of the place.

2.     Certain guidelines have, however, been issued by the Board with regard to:-

(i)    The holding of meetings on railway lands by recognised Unions (the Board’s letter No.E(L)60 UT1-33, dated 09.02.1960). These guidelines stipulate, among others, that no political subject should be discussed in the meeting for which permission has been given by the Administration to a recognised union;

(ii)    Prohibiting the grant of permission to un-recognised unions for holding their meetings, etc., on railway land/ premises (the Board’s letter No.E(LR)III/80/UT3/23, dated 08.05.1980); and,

(iii)   Restrictions on the use of any railway land for holding election meetings and/or public meetings (the Board’s Wireless massage No.71/W2/18/23, dated 01.02.1971).

3.     While the Railways may be already observing these stipulations, it is desirable that specific mention is made in the local rules framed with regard to the running of Institutes/ Clubs.

4.     The latest version of the guidelines/ rules etc. framed for the opening and governance of Railway Institutes/ Clubs may kindly be sent to this office early as already asked for in Board’s letter of even number dated 21.04.1986 .
