The Central Railway (CR) recently announced that six organisations have agreed to stagger their office timings, preventing employees from taking the train all at once during the rush hour, lessening the burden on the suburban railway. The six are the Postal Department, Bombay Stock Exchange, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), All India Association of Industries, Bajaj Electricals Ltd and IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd.

After implementing flexible working hours for its employees, so that Railway employees do not end up jostling with commuters to reach offices in time, the Central Railways had sent out letters to over 350 organisations, offices and business chambers with the appeal to start staggering their office timings.
