Gohain said, the number of railway employees has come down to 13 lakhs from 15 lakhs and amongst these; the number of SC & ST employees is merely 3 lakhs.
In such a situation, he said, the demands of such employees should be rightfully placed before the Government and he would make personal efforts for their welfare. To make our country richer socially, politically and economically, greater opportunities should be ensured for the upliftment of SC, ST and OBC people.
Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is working for it whole-heartedly, he reiterated.
