Railway Board,

Dear Sir,

Sub: Preventive measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 – Attendance – Reg.
Ref.: Railway Board’s Office Order No.63 of 2020 dated

Railway Board have already issued instructions in regard to attendance of the staff in the offices in the wake of spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Since Administrative and Field Offices are also working and the officers and supporting staff are regularly attending these offices, it is necessary that, preventive measures should be taken while calling the staff to attend their work places so as to avoid spread of this Pandemic among them.

It would not be out of context to mention here that, a substantial number of Railway Staff also got infected by the COVID-19, as such, there is serious threat of other Railwaymen getting infected in case of close contact/mass gathering.

It would, therefore, be quite appropriate that the instructions on the pattern of Office Order of the Railway Board, referred to above, should also be issued to all the Railway Administrations for strict compliance thereof to contain spread of the COVID-19 among the Railway Staff.

An early action in the matter is solicited.
