of the train on platform number 8 of Banaras station. Officials, including Divisional Electrical Engineer (Operation) Ajay Rishi, reached the spot and assured the employees that their demands would be considered. The protest ended at 2:45 PM. However, the protest did not affect the train's operation, and it left for Agra at 3:20 PM as scheduled. The regular operation of the Varanasi-Agra Vande Bharat Express commenced on Monday. According to the Railway Board's order, the Vande Bharat Express (Train No. 20175-76) is manned by North Central Railway (NCR) staff for both trips. The employees protested, demanding that Northeast Railway loco pilots and train managers be included in the crew until Prayagraj or Kanpur. The Northeast Railway Employees Union (NERMU) argued that the Northeast Railway crew members were being neglected by not being included in the Vande Bharat Express crew. They emphasized the importance of including Northeast Railway personnel to ensure proper knowledge of the route and to improve the mileage and promotion prospects of Northeast Railway loco pilots and guards.

Dharna dopahar 2:45 baje khatam hua. Halanki, is dharna ka train ke chalane par koi asar nahin pada aur train apne tay samay par dopahar 3:20 baje Agra ke liye chali gayi. Banaras-Agra Vande Bharat Express ka regular operation Monday se shuru hua. Railway Board ke order ke mutabik, Vande Bharat Express (Train No. 20175-76) ke dono trips mein North Central Railway (NCR) ke karmchariyon ki duty lagayi gayi hai. Karmchariyon ne protest kiya aur yeh maang ki Northeast Railway ke loco pilot aur train manager ki duty Prayagraj ya Kanpur tak lagayi jaaye. Northeast Railway Employees Union (NERMU) ne argument kiya ki Northeast Railway ke crew members ko Vande Bharat Express mein duty nahin dekar unki upeksha ki ja rahi hai. Unhonne Northeast Railway ke karmchariyon ko include karne ki zarurat par zor diya, taki route ki proper jaankari ho aur Northeast Railway ke loco pilot aur guards ka mileage aur promotion prospects improve ho.
