COMMUNITY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ROLLED OUT
In an effort to address the increasing incidents of vandalism, theft, encroachments and trespassing affecting the railway infrastructure, Zambia Railways Limited(ZRL) has rolled out a community awareness campaign throughout the railway network.
A team comprising Public Relations, Safety Department, Police and Infrastructure has conducted extensive community awareness meetings ,emphasizing on the importance of safeguarding railway assets for the overall safety of the communities and the efficiency of the railway system.
The interactive meetings conducted in the Copperbelt and Lusaka Provinces established communication channels for the continuous flow of information between ZRL and the communities for timely reporting of suspicious activities on or near the railway infrastructure.
The communities were encouraged to work with ZRL in putting to an end the retrogressive acts through an incentivized whistle blower programme. The company will engage informers in selected areas along the line of rail who will assist in the timely reporting of suspicious activities to ZRL .
