Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has become the face of the Western Railway’s campaign on checking trespassing, women’s safety and cleanliness.<\/p>\n
The Western Railway today made an announcement in this regard. This comes weeks after the Central Railway roped in megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the face of its anti- trespassing campaign.<\/p>\n
Trespassing on railway tracks is a major cause of deaths on the Mumbai suburban rail network, considered the lifeline of the metropolis.<\/p>\n
The WR said Tendulkar has provided his valuable views and messages for social awareness regarding women safety, trespassing and cleanliness for its passengers.<\/p>\n
After becoming the face of the Western Railway, the 45 -year-old Bharat Ratna awardee will sensitise passengers on issues like trespassing, women safety and cleanliness.<\/p>\n
In the past, the WR has conducted a series of awareness campaigns by roping in celebrities like Jackie Shroff, Daljit Dosanjh, Zoya Akhtar and John Abraham, among others.<\/p>\n
WR chief spokesperson Ravinder Bhakar said, “In our special awareness campaign, spearheaded by Sachin Tendulkar, various short video\/audio recording clips of legendary batsman will be played on screens across the WR for the next few months.<\/p>\n
“The video clips will also be telecast on popular TV channels, cinema houses, while the audio clips will be played at suburban stations and trains.”<\/p>\n
Bhakar said in his message, the Mumbai-based cricketer has shared his cherished memories about local trains and urged passengers to travel safely and use food overbridges and escalators instead of crossing tracks.<\/p>\n
“On the menace of trespassing, Tendulkar has given a very thoughtful message ‘Tumchya Ghari Koni Vaat Pahat Ahe’ (someone at home is waiting for you). He has urged passengers to avoid crossing tracks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
