A webinar was organised on the 36th Raising Day Ceremony of Railway Protection Force of Western Railway, in which Tanuja Kansal, President of the Western Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation (WRWWO), while extending her wishes to WR’s Railway Protection Force, applauded women in the Railway Protection Force. She appreciated the bravery and valour of RPF personnel, especially the ‘Naree Shakti’ in the RPF organisation. Kansal praised the outstanding and selfless work by the RPF as frontline Corona warriors during the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kansal said that this day is not only a symbol of formation of one of our nation’s elite and dedicated Armed Forces, but it is also a day to remember their bravery, dignity and service to the nation. She expressed her joy to know that there are 165 women in WR’s RPF force, including two ladies as Security Commissioners heading the divisions. It made her extremely happy to know that 79 more women are undergoing training at the RPF Training Centre at Valsad and will be inducted soon into the force. She said that it was a matter of immense pride to see such good number of women staff serving in the RPF and appreciated the devotion to work shown by various women personnel during their course of duty, even in such trying times. She lauded the efforts by several RPF women staff who voluntarily prepared face masks and handled both official work as well as domestic chores with ease. These women jawans put their best foot forward to shoulder the jobs of their male counterparts with the same dedication and determination.
As a token of appreciation for the courage and bravery displayed by RPF jawans and to boost their morale, WRWWO has provided an assistance of approximately Rs 41,500, under which two washing machines have been provided to Ahmedabad and Rajkot RPF post, while three hot plates have been donated to the Bhavnagar RPF post. Earlier, the WRWWO had given a nod to the RPF of Mumbai Central to purchase three deep freezers.
