Awareness drive by civil defense and safety personnel



Our slogans: Let's travel by trains to our destination not under them to the ultimate destiny!  Suicide is certainly not a glorious thing to do! Please join this campaign for Zero death on railway tracks.

In order to create awareness on activities like chain pulling, footboard travel, and tress passing, the Safety department and Civil Defense personnel under the monitoring of Senior Divisional Safety Officer Shri Praveen Bhati are organizing intensive drives at stations, public places, schools & Colleges and in villages adjacent to railway tracks over the Division. 

Civil Defense personnel conducted the Nukkad Natak (Street Play) at Visakhapatnam railway station today (30.04.2022) and presented by Divisional Cultural Association. The street play aimed to create awareness on hundreds of people dying daily on Railway tracks due to tress passing, open defecation on railway tracks, negligent boarding/de-boarding and getting down from trains on mid-sections by chain pulling, etc. Passengers and the waiting public at the station watched the skit interestingly.


Speaking on the occasion DRM Shri Anup Satpathy said that the street play was very informative and nicely narrated by the Divisional Cultural Association team. It gives the message of the dangerous results due to tress passing, footboard travel, open defection, selfie spree, climbing on coaches, etc. He said life is very precious and the death of a person devastates a family.

Our officers and staff have been at the forefront to counsel the traveling public with the help of Scouts & Guides, Civil defense, Labour Unions, Staff Associations, Press Media, Social Media, State governments, District Authorities, NGOs, Schools, colleges, and the general public, he added. 

ADRM (infra) Shri Sudhir Kumar Gupta, ADRM (Operations) Shri Manoj Kumar Sahoo, and other branch officers and staff were present at the occasion.
