Support for Railway Porters’ Rights and Safety: A Call to Action.NEW DELHI: Support for Railway Porters’ Rights and Safety is crucial as these dedicated workers face significant financial hardships. Recently, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi highlighted their struggles, emphasizing that they risk their lives to assist passengers, especially during emergencies like the stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station last month. Yet, their voices remain unheard in the discussions surrounding safety and rights.
The Fight for Rights and Recognition
In a heartfelt video shared on his YouTube channel, Gandhi documented his recent visit to the New Delhi Railway Station, where he interacted with the porters. He stated, “I will fight for their rights.” This commitment reflects the urgent need for support for railway porters’ rights and safety measures that protect them while they serve the public.
Gandhi urged citizens to contribute suggestions through the ‘Awaaz Bharat Ki’ portal, aiming to enhance crowd management and security at stations. Such initiatives can make a tangible difference in the lives of porters and the passengers they assist.
Addressing Public Safety Concerns
The rising incidence of stampedes at railway stations and public venues is alarming. Many innocent lives are lost or affected during these tragic events. Gandhi pointed out the necessity of collective thinking to devise strategies that prevent such occurrences. He stated, “We need to think together about how to prevent such tragedies.” This conversation needs to include the voices of those who are most impacted—railway porters.
In his post accompanying the video, Gandhi shared, “A few days ago, I reached New Delhi Railway Station and met the porter brothers there again. They told me how everyone came together to save lives during the stampede.” This narrative underscores the bravery and dedication of railway porters.
