The Sunday mega block, the bane of Central Railway (CR) commuters, is back, even as trains are only ferrying essential workers amid the COVID-19 lockdown. mid-day brings to you the details of what railway workers, deemed COVID-19 warriors by the CR, are up to.

"We had a mega block on Sunday, July 12 on the Vidyavihar-Thane up and down lines and the quantum of maintenance work done on this day is much more than the work carried out during night blocks or when trains are not running. CR's COVID-19 warriors were on the job despite heavy rain," a senior official said.
