The Board (M.S.) replied to this observation as under:

“According to our information, GMs are associating themselves with PNM Meeting.

However, at the Divisional level, if there are any deficiencies existing instructions would be suitably re-issued to the Railways for proper conduct of the Meeting.

The affiliates of the Federations could also bring any lacuna to the notice of the G.M.”

If any lacuna in the functioning of the PNM Meeting at the Divisional level is brought to your notice by the affiliates of the Federation, kindly take remedial action.
