Vijayawada: A massive dharna was staged by employees of South Central Railway Engineers Association (SCREA) behind the DRM’s office here on Wednesday urging the management to accord standard designation for Junior Engineer and Assistant Engineer with grade pay of Rs 5,400 and Rs 6,600 respectively.

Addressing the gathering, SCREA Divisional Secretary Ravula Satyam said that the Junior Engineer(JE)/Senior Section Engineers(SSE) of Railways are termed as backbone for the management as they are directly involved in the safe, secure and punctual running of train services up to 4th Pay commission.
