The Superintendent of the Pakistan Railways, Multan Division, Shoaib Adil, convened an emergency meeting with the office-bearers and representatives of the union to look into their grievances and find solutions for the mutual benefit of the organization.

A resolution was passed in the meeting in which the station masters and the assistant station masters were reminded to go by the book and carry out their duties and functions with utmost care and caution. 

This was necessitated by the growing number of train accidents which had not only caused the loss of precious human lives but also brought the trust of the organization at stake. 

The union demanded that the signaling system connected with the train operation should be fixed immediately, the distribution of scales should be stopped and the seniority list should be enforced in letter and spirit.

It was resolved that the management and employees would work together to restore the trust of their department.
