Anuj Dayal, the Principal Executive Director of Corporate Communications at Delhi Metro, recently shared his enthusiasm for the gripping web series “The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984,” available for streaming on Netflix. In a heartfelt recommendation, he emphasized that this series is a must-watch for all, particularly for railway personnel, their families, and anyone connected with the railway system, considering that as passengers, everyone shares a connection.
Comprising four episodes, each running approximately 50 minutes, the series encapsulates the extraordinary dedication of railway men, often encountering and bravely confronting challenging situations and emergencies head-on. Dayal acknowledged that while the portrayal may be somewhat dramatized, it genuinely captures the essence of railway men’s unwavering commitment to their work.
Dayal applauded the series for presenting railway men as the unsung heroes they are. Often, their relentless efforts go unnoticed, overshadowed by complaints about cleanliness and punctuality. However, this series beautifully depicts the indomitable spirit and tireless dedication of Railway men who tirelessly work to ensure safety and recovery at accident sites, even in remote and trying conditions.
He underscored that the series remarkably portrays the challenges faced by railway men, juggling technical, operational, and financial responsibilities while responding to numerous complaints and meeting public expectations. The emotional and occasionally life-threatening nature of their work, highlighted through the roles of Train Guards and Signalmen averting potential disasters, is powerfully depicted.
The tragic Bhopal Gas Leak and its aftermath are starkly portrayed, evoking feelings of despair and helplessness but also resilience and the will to move forward.
