There is an old demand of railway employees to change the designation. Information about this was also given on the official Twitter handle of the Railways. The employees were demanding to change the designation of the guard since 2004. His reasoning behind this was that the job of the guard is not only to show the flag and torch for the signal but also.
The responsibility of looking after the train is also on the guard.
