💨 Abstract

The East Central Railway zone is installing air conditioning units in running rooms at Saharsa junction after loco pilots refused to rest there due to high temperatures. The pilots protested on May 9 by resting in the crew lobby. The Samastipur division ordered 273 AC machines to address the issue, aiming to complete the installations soon. Previously, the division rented ACs through private contracts, causing delays and discomfort for the pilots. The pilots emphasized the importance of comfortable rest for safe train operations.
