Kolkata Metro authorities are actively conducting counselling sessions for the families of its motormen. These sessions aim to shed light on the demanding conditions faced by the motormen who operate the Metro fleet.

According to a Metro Railway spokesperson, the electrical engineering department organized a session at the Noapara training institute on June 29, where the wives of several Metro motormen participated.

Participants were given a tour of the Simulation Room to understand the daily responsibilities and alertness required from the motormen, who navigate crowded Metro rakes through underground tunnels and over viaducts.

A referral video was shown to further educate family members about these challenges. The families were urged to ensure that motormen receive adequate rest and a healthy diet.

The importance of mental well-being was also emphasized, encouraging participants to practice daily activities like yoga to manage stress effectively. Motormen were advised to go to bed early and minimize unnecessary social media usage.

Metro authorities plan to organize more such sessions in the near future, intending to involve all motormen's families in these initiatives.
