Kolkata,
A special drive has been launched by South Eastern Railway authority to create awareness among all sections of the people to maintain COVID-19 protocols as per directives of the Government of India. As a part of the drive, banners and posters on COVID awareness have been displayed throughout SER’s jurisdiction. Frequent announcements are being made at important stations on Covid Appropriate Behaviour (CAB) i.e wearing of mask, regular hand washing, maintenance of social distancing and avoidance of crowded places. COVID-19 awareness posts and videos are being regularly uploaded in SER’s social media pages. Moreover, all endeavours are being made to encourage the employees to get vaccinated as it is safe and life saving.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 vaccination of SER employees and their family members above 45 years of age (i.e born on or before 01.01.1977) has been started from 1st April, 2021 at SER Central Hospital, Garden Reach and all the four Divisional Hospital at Kharagpur, Adra, Chakradharpur and Ranchi. The vaccination programme is being carried out as per guidelines issued by the Government of India and is receiving positive response from the employees.
