EASTERN RAILWAY’S EMU LOCALS TO HAVE AN AESTHETIC LOOK SOON

Kolkata, January 15, 2021:

            To ensure safe journey is o­ne thing and to make the journey eye soothing & entertaining is another. Eastern Railway’s Howrah Division is committed in its endeavour to do both.

            During lockdown and part of un-lock period, EMU train services were suspended. Maintenance and cleanliness of coaches were hampered due to inadequate presence of staff physically and non-movement of rakes. However, thorough cleanliness and sanitisation works were performed o­n a regular basis during the unlock period.  EMU services started operation from 11.11.2020 observing COVID appropriate behaviour.

            The interior & exterior colour of the EMU rakes became fade during the lockdown period. Keeping this in view, the Railway made an endeavour to give a new facelift to the EMU rakes while undertaking thorough maintenance, cleanliness & sanitisation.

            In order to provide a new facelift and for an aesthetic view, Eastern Railway’s Howrah Division is taking initiative for painting of interior & exterior of EMU rakes.

Through this effort, the getup of the EMU coaches are being changed and some of the EMU trains of the Division will appear o­n the platform with a new facelift very soon. It will be eye catching among the passengers.

The above initiative along with cleanliness & sanitisation of coaches are being done as a means to fight against corona virus and to maintain COVID protocol.

            Not o­nly the aesthetic view of EMU locals but also a punch of entertainment during course of journey is being planned by providing music system in a few rakes o­n trial basis.
