Over 700 station masters of Central Railway (CR) and Western Railway (WR) in Mumbai Division staged a protest in Mumbai on Wednesday demanding an immediate rollback of Railway Board's proposal to appoint station managers from other departments of the national carrier.

The station masters gathered at the Azad Maidan under the banner of All India Station Masters Association (AISMA) and raised objection against the decision of the Board to appoint station in-charge at the A1 and A category railway stations of CR and WR from other cadre.
