Acknowledging their alertness and bravery in averting accidents, the South Western Railways (SWR) General Manager Sanjeev Kishore on Thursday felicitated and rewarded staff members of the railways with appropriate rewards and citations.
In one of the incidents on July 19, Atul Yadav, a helper of the carriage & wagon section at Castle Rock was travelling to Kulem by a goods train after finishing his night duty.
When the train stopped at Sonaulim station for the crossing of another goods train, he observed the passing train and noticed smoke on the wagon and immediately informed the train manager of the passing goods train to stop. His alertness and timely swift action averted a major fire incident.
Similarly, a loco pilot Bahadur Singh Shekhawat, asst loco pilot Vikas Kumar, from Krishnarajapuram, Amit Singh Chauhan (station master of Bedra Bommanahalli), N Suresh (pointsman of Bedra Bommanahalli) and Ninge Gowda (Hassan-Sakleshpur section) were also felicitated and awarded for averting mishaps at various locations of the SWR.
Additional GM P K Mishra and Principal Chief Safety Officer Alok Tiwari who were present among others have appreciated the alertness and prompt action by these staff.
“These staffers of SWR have lived up to an old adage ‘there is no safety device better than an alert railway-person’," said GM Sanjeev Kishore, while congratulating the alert and brave staffers.
