A commitment on wheels uring the current testing times of DCOVID-19 when the passenger services of Indian Railways are stopped, the resilient railway fraternity is united and not just facing the lockdown but also mobilising the resources and maintaining the supply chain of the country by operating goods and special parcel trains. The staff of railways is going beyond the call of duty and manufacturing masks, sanitizers, converting coaches in quarantine wards, arranging food for the needy, medical assistance to state govt, etc. Indian Railways has always stood with the people of nation and year after year contributed for the development of nation in every possible way. The social image of an organization is a reflection of its evolution, along with its success and achievements and is the outcome of talent, hardwork, sincerity and dedication of employees, who bring glory to the organization. Western Railway, an important zone of Indian Railways, contributes immensely towards the socio economic growth of the country and lives upto the expectations of its customers and passengers. The success story of Western Railway is one, wherein the spirit and the team work of railwaymen glorify the organization by innovating and reaching newer heights.It is due to this unparalleled contribution of numerous devoted officers &employees, who stand true to the test of excellence, that Western Railway, on course towards an unceasing march of progress, has crossed several milestones in year 2019-20 and posted best figures on Indian Railways in various fields. I congratulate each and every officer and employee for their contribution. I am of the firm belief that when the going gets tough, Team WR gets going.
