How Western Railway celebrated Navratri by bringing its women employees to the forefront

Mumbai, Jun 15 () Even as Indian Railways has resumed select local train services in Mumbai to ferry those providing essential services, <keyword id="6477319" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="bank-employees">bank employees</keyword> are not being allowed to use the service to commute, <keyword id="6355272" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="bank">bank</keyword> unions said. Banks are declared as the essential service provider by the Ministry of Home Affairs, and have been providing uninterrupted banking services since the first lockdown announced on March 23. <br /><br />Western Railway and Central Railway are running selected suburban train services only for essential services as identified by the state government. <br /><br />"Since the railway authorities have started local trains for the employees from essential service but bank employees have been denied using that service as they are not in the list of essential services," Union Forum of Bank Unions (UFBU) Maharashtra Convenor Devidas Tujapurkar said. <br /><br />"On the one side, the government expects banks to extend uninterrupted services even during the lockdown but when it comes to using local train services, banks are not considered in the list of essential service providers, which is disturbing," he added. <br /><br />Central Railway said that around 1.25 lakh essential staff (including 50,000 on Western Railway) as identified by the state government are expected to travel by these trains. <br /><br />While speaking to , an employee of Syndicate Bank said, "I tried to enter Dadar station in the morning to travel to my branch in Churchgate but police did not allow me." <br /><br />Railways has also appealed to the public that only the essential staff as identified by the state government will be permitted to travel by selected suburban services and requested others not to rush to the stations. <br /><br />In a letter written to the chief secretary, Maharashtra government, Maharashtra State Bank Employees Federation (MSBEF) have requested to allow bank employees to use the suburban train services. <br /><br />"We earnestly request you to please extend this service to the bank employees to enable them to report to their duties regularly. This will also facilitate extending full-fledged banking services to all," the letter said. HV MR

Its latest strategy is to use vintage train songs to convey the importance of social distancing. <br /><br />It first referred to Ashok Kumar’s hit Bollywood song from 1968, ‘Rail Gaadi Rail Gaadi’ from the film Aashirwad to reiterate how it ‘stopped the train to break the chain.’ Playing with the last stanza, Western Railway said ‘<em>abhi toh sab station bole ghar pe hi ruk</em>,’ roughly translating to, now all stations are requesting you to stay home. <br /><br />It further said that “Staying quarantined at home is better than staying quarantined in a hospital later! Let’s stop #COVID19 from coming indoors by avoiding going outdoors. ”<br /><br />

<br />Using another famous Marathi rhyme Jhuk Jhuk gaadi, it said that “We agree that your native place has more greenery and fresh air, but this lock-down is not the right time to travel to your native place.” <br /><br />
