The Western Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation (WRWWO) continues to cater to the welfare of railway employees and their families, especially, during the pandemic. Continuing with their benevolent efforts, under the guidance of Tanuja Kansal, President of WRWWO, a vaccination camp has been organised for railway staff at Mumbai Central station.
According to a press release issued by Sumit Thakur, Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railway, Kansal inaugurated the vaccination camp at Mumbai Central station for staff. The three-day camp has been specially organised for cleaning staff, sanitation workers, coolies, canteen staff and other station employees, who had not received their vaccine.
To create awareness regarding the benefits of getting vaccinated, a nukkad natak was also performed by cultural staff. The natak was highly effective in giving the message while dealing with all questions regarding the safe procedure of vaccination and its benefits. It was appreciated by all. Kansal awarded the cultural staff with a cash award of `10,000. Another skit was displayed by ticket-checking staff, depicting how to deal with passengers found without tickets.
Six RPF personnel were also felicitated by Kansal in the presence of General Manager, Western Railway, Alok Kansal, and Divisional Railway Manager, Mumbai Division G V L Satyakumar. These RPF personnel displayed exemplary courage during their course of duty and saved the lives of passengers while travelling over Mumbai Division. In his speech, Alok Kansal emphasised on the need for vaccination and said that vaccine brings value to life. He congratulated the awardees for their dedication and the display of valour in the line of duty. He also announced cash awards of `15,000 for the arrangements made by Mumbai Division towards organising the event and `5,000 for nukkad natak.
In her address to the gathering, Kansal informed about the various welfare activities being carried out by WRWWO to make women self-reliant. She encouraged the staff to get vaccinated.
At the vaccination camp, both first and second doses of Covishield vaccine were given as per requirement. Snack boxes were distributed to awardees, cultural artistes and to the staff who availed the facility of vaccination drive.
