SWR Mazdoor Union criticisedfor ‘assaulting' NREU members
Respect the democratic rights of other trade unions: NREU
Assertive:Members of the Nairuthya Railway Employees' Union taking out a protest march in Hubli on Monday.
Scores of employees of the South Western Railway took out a protest march in Hubli on Monday condemned the assault on some railway employees allegedly by office-bearers of the SWR Mazdoor Union.
Commencing from the Hubli railway station, the railway employees marched to the office of the General Manager of South Western Railway under the aegis of Nairuthya Railway Employees' Union (NREU) holding placards and banners condemning “intimidating behaviour” of some trade union leaders.
The protesters said that NREU was a registered trade union under the Trade Unions Act and as a registered trade union it had its democratic rights under the law of the land. However, a few office-bearers of the SWR Mazdoor Union were trying to prevent the NREU members from creating awareness among the railway employees about their rights.
President of the NREU S. Prasannakumar and working president T. Sabu, and district secretary of CITU Mahesh Pattar led the protest march. They then staged a demonstration in front of the General Manager's office.
Addressing the protesters, the NREU leaders condemned the attack on NREU office-bearers in Hubli on April 28. They said that the NREU office-bearers were prevented from speaking to workers.
Later, SWRMU office-bearer A.M. D'cruz and his followers attacked them and they were released by the mob only after the Assistant Security Commissioner of the Railway Protection Force intervened.
They urged the SWRMU leaders to respect the democratic rights of others. They submitted a memorandum to the SWR authorities.

Basavannevva Karkikatti's candidature is an ideal in many ways
Basavannevva Karkikatti
Basavannevva Sharanappa Karkikatti, Communist Party of India (Marxist) candidate from Belvaniki constituency of Ron Taluk Panchayat of Gadag district, is a candidate with a difference. She is a small farmer working along with her husband in the farms for livelihood. But her participation in movements of All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), self-help groups activities and others have made her contest the elections.
It is the only taluk panchayat constituency where the CPI(M) has fielded its candidate, and the local leaders are hopeful of her victory. Belvaniki Taluk Panchayat constituency has Belvaniki and Mallapur gram panchayats, of which Belvaniki is under the CPI(M) rule. “We won here solely because of our pro-people struggle. We wish we will enter the taluk panchayat this time,” said Belvaniki Gram Panchayat president Mahagundappa Angadi.
Going by her enthusiasm, it appears that Ms. Basavannevva may succeed in her maiden effort. But election is not a cakewalk for her, keeping in mind the presence of the powerful candidates of the parties in power. Annapurna Jagapur of the Congress and Rudravva Tali of the BJP are the main opponents and they enjoy comparatively better financial position than Ms. Basavannevva.
As election date is nearing, the parties have begun wooing the voters. “Liquor is flowing like river, and money too,” alleged Mahesh Pattar, CPI(M) leader. He said that the CPI(M) will win if the people shun money and liquor and vote for good governance as they did in the gram panchayat elections where the party won facing all such odds.
Whether Ms. Basavannevva wins or not, her candidature has proved to be an ideal in many ways. She has collected money from the villagers and well-wishers for election expenses. Even the deposit money for nomination has been raised by the public. “We will repay the ‘public debt' in the form of corruption-free administration and people-friendly services,” Mr. Pattar said.
