Dear Sir,

Sub: Proper sanitization of the workplace, tools, other equipments and provision of PPEs, Masks and Sanitizers, to contain the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Railway Working

Complaints are pouring in this office that, proper sanitization of the workplace, tools and other equipments and supply of Protective Masks, PPE Kits, and Sanitizers, are not being ensured at many places over the Indian Railways, in this COVID-19 Pandemic.

You may kindly appreciate that, most of the Railwaymen are working hard, facing the risk of Coronavirus(COVID-19) 24X7 for running various types of Freight, Parcel and Passenger Trains.

We, therefore, earnestly hope that, you will kindly appreciate the situation and issue necessary instructions to all the Zonal Railways and Production Units for ensuring proper sanitization of the work places and tools etc. and provision of PPEs, Masks and Sanitizers etc. to the staff working in running as well as maintenance of the trains and other assets, besides those of the Medical Department, so as to contain the outbreak of COVID-19 and break the chain of deadly Coronavirus.

An immediate action in the matter is solicited.
