3. With regard to the request forwarded by All India Train Controllers
Association and All India Guard Council to call them for the aforesaid
meeting, it is stated that this Ministry is of the view that the request
may not be acceded to as both associations are un-recognized and
acceding such request will result in similar demands from large number
of un-recognized associations in Ministry of Railways. It is also stated
that All India Railwaymen’s Federation (AIRF) and National Federation
of Indian Railwaymen (NFIR) are only two recognized federations of
Indian Railways.
