Mumbai: Prioritize railway employees as frontline workers and inoculate them, says Western Railway
With the total number of COVID-19 cases crossing 95,000 within the Indian Railways, one of the countryâs largest employers is worried. Now, they are urging different state governments to prioritize all railway employees as frontline workers (FLW) and inoculate them. One such letter was written on May 14, by the General Manager of Western Railway (WR) to Chief Secretary Sitaram Kunte. This comes at a time when one of the biggest unions of National Federation of Indian Railwaymen (NFIR) spoke to the Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and other top officials from the Indian Railways earlier this week.
