The Western Railway (WR) has taken the lead again and implemented staggered office timings for its staff following the 50 per cent attendance directive by the state government. The WR had also implemented the system last year in September.

As per a circular released on Saturday, half the attending staff of each section of the WR will attend office from 9.15 am to 4 pm and the remaining half will attend work from 11 am to 5.45 pm. The time slots have been put in place to avoid crowding in trains.
