II. All India convention on Bibek Debroy Committee Report:-

The central government is moving very fast implementing Bibek Debroy committee report aimed to unbundle the railways into countless entities and also to lease out the railways track, locomotives, coaches, railway training schools, colonies, hospitals & railway land to private parties. Abandoning of railway budget was the reform recommended in the fifth year, but implemented in the very first year.

So the BGM decided to organise a National Convention at New Delhi jointly hosted by all likeminded trade unions 

(On the adjacent date of National Convention on our Charter of Demands) to oppose Bibek Debroy Committee Report.
