The Central Railway (Mumbai) on Saturday announced that was working on setting up Emergency Medical Rooms (EMRs) at 44 stations in addition to the existing ones to help injured commuters in the golden hour.
“Central Railway has taken various measures to ensure safe and comfortable travel for its passengers. Setting up EMRs at stations is a significant step towards providing medical aid during emergencies. The Mumbai Division has established EMRs at several suburban stations to provide immediate medical assistance. The primary aim is to offer first-aid care to bonafide passengers, including railway staff, who face medical emergencies due to accidents, illnesses, or other incidents,” a CR spokesperson said.
