New Delhi, Sep 24
After the Cabinet approved the Productivity Linked Bonus (PLB) for railway employees on Wednesday, a wave of happiness spread among the staff.
Train Manager Naresh Kumar said the country is developing rapidly and the government has transformed the railways.
He noted, “The decision to give a 78-day bonus is highly commendable. The number of Vande Bharat trains is increasing across the country. Overall, India is moving on the path of progress. We are happy that the central government has given us such a big gift ahead of Diwali.”
Counsellor-cum-Train Manager Om Prakash Shukla said railway employees receive bonuses every year, but the pandemic had put some pressure on them.
Railway Operating Assistant Krishna echoed similar sentiments, calling the bonus announcement “a Diwali gift from the government.”
