Railway workers held a protest outside the press club and demanded the Pakistan Railways administration withdraw cases against the union office bearers. They alleged that Lahore Divisional Personal Officer (DPO) Zulqarnain registered cases against their fellow workers and union office bearers only to conceal his corruption and malpractices. They were of the view that railway workers union worked constitutionally and exposed DPO’s corruption. They alleged that the DPO used hooligans and threatened them. Referring to a firing incident at union leader Farid Awan on May 31 , they said though an FIR was registered and the nominated persons were arrested by the police, the DPO got himself released by using his links with higher authorities. They said vowed to launch a campaign against the DPO and demanded his transfer.
