In the wake of outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent nation-wide lockdown, South Eastern Railway (SER) has boosted up its entire system to keep the wheels on move with the help of its dedicated frontline personnel.
Though passenger train services have remained suspended since the start of lockdown but freight train operation is continuing round the clock. SER has arranged to run 615 trips of Parcel Express Trains to every nook and corner of the country during the lockdown. Running of these Freight and Parcel Express Trains has helped to ensure uninterrupted supply of essential commodities like food grains, vegetables, grocery items, fish, egg, medicine, medical equipments etc. to different destinations of the country. This has been possible due to the dedication and sense of responsibility of the SER’s front line staff i.e. locos pilots, guards, station managers etc.
Combined effort of SER’s Operating, Commercial, Mechanical and Electrical Departments have helped to keep the supply chain of the country intact. Apart from this, tireless maintenance work of tracks, bridges etc. under the strict supervision of Engineering Department of SER is also going on round the clock which has ensured hassle-free movement of Freight and Parcel Trains. Moreover, Security Department of SER is on constant vigil to protect railway properties, establishments and ensure safe movement of Freight and Parcel Trains.
