    The chief loco inspector in recruited at 4600 grade pay in the railway and the 28 yrs service will be discontinued for the same grade of 4600 up to retirement after give important service to the railway.
    it is a tragic consequence of our hard work and passing the exam in the first attempt, if we had failed with junior ,then our salary would not be less than that of Jr. loco inspector is an important post for railway , understanding the importance of the posts has also been expanded., Not only does the loco inspector have the permission to give MACP and not increase the grades also not stepingup ,but instead of the other departments,the grade pay and pay has been significantly reduced compared to the previous, which is a result of dissatisfaction there is a very big reason,…………the solution should be done very quickly.
