RAILWAY employees have threatened to go on strike from March 1 in protest against delay in setting up of the Sixth Pay Commission. They also want an interim relief in terms of higher compensation till the Sixth Pay Commission is in place.

"The Prime Minister has not clarified the time frame by which the Sixth Pay Commission would be set up," Mr S.G. Mishra, Assistant General Secretary, All India Railway Men's Federation, said here. Northern Railways employees served the notice to the General Manager of Northern Railway here on Tuesday.
