As part of awareness campaign to ensure safety of workforce at construction sites of Mumbai- Ahmedabad Bullet Train Project, NHSRCL has completed the first session of Nukkad Natak (street plays) named ‘Prayas’ at 100 different work spots along the entire corridor.
More than 6000 workers/shramiks were educated during the street plays started from Mumbai Bullet Train station to Ahmedabad Bullet Train station.
The objective of organising these Nukkad Nataks was to raise awareness and educate workers about the importance of safety at construction sites in an engaging manner. The performances were designed to cover key safety topics such as proper use of equipment, adherence to safety guidelines, emergency response procedures and the importance of maintaining a safe work environment.
To ensure that the performances are accessible to workers from various parts of the country, such as UP, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, and who have diverse linguistic backgrounds, the language of the street plays is kept simple and easy to understand.
Drama, humor, and relatable scenarios are incorporated in the street plays, to capture the attention of workers and to effectively communicate safety messages.
The campaign will continue for the next six (06) months, all along the Bullet Train corridor covering casting yards, tunnel shafts, under construction stations, depots, bridges and viaducts.
