Northern Railway is striving in every way to strengthen the efforts being put in by government to make the lives of people easier. Special trains are being run to help the stranded ones reach their destinations. Assets of Northern Railway are being utilised optimally and innovatively. Rail coaches have been converted into mobile quarantine centres, WHO standard protective gears (PPEs) are being produced in the maintenance workshops and the tertiary medical hospitals have been converted into COVID-19 care centres.
Northern Railway Civil Defence volunteers are rendering invaluable service to the society keeping up their motto — working for the benefit of all living beings. At New Delhi railway station, the Civil Defence volunteers ensure that all passengers strictly follow the norms set for travelling. They help in the movement of the travellers in an orderly manner. They also distribute face masks stitched by the volunteers themselves to the passengers who need them. The volunteers also help in sanitising the platforms and the train coaches.
