INDIA’S WESTERN RAILWAY HIRING WORKERS TO MonITOR VT

Western Railway (WR) is deploying semi-skilled personnel to oversee the functioning of escalators and elevators on its suburban Mumbai railway stations, Hindustan Times reports. WR said it made the decision after multiple reports of malfunctioning escalators and elevators came to light. It floated a tender to hire personnel for the management and operation of vertical-transportation (VT) equipment at every railway station beginning at the end of March and lasting 12 months. A spokesperson said the monitors would help ensure that the stations’ VT equipment remains operational. The report noted that WR was in the process of repairing 17 escalators.
