Central Railway employees sat on a day-long hunger strike here today against Railway Board's recently launched Yatri Ticket Suvidha Kendra (YTSK) scheme.

Nearly 50 employees of Group C and D, including commercial and running staff, under the banner of Central Railway Mazdoor Sangh (CRMS), sat on a day-long fast at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to oppose the Railway Board's decision to permit authorised ticketing agents to book tickets under YTSK scheme that will enable agents to book tickets by applying additional charges on fare. CRMS has termed the move as 'unnecessary' and said it is exploitation of passengers. They demanded the Board to roll back its decision.
