Doha: Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) praised its workers’ role in supporting its projects, during visits led by top management to workers accommodations.
The visits headed by Managing Director Engineer Abdulla Abdulaziz Al Subaie, CEO Engineer Saad Ahmed Al Muhannadi and Deputy CEO Engineer Hamad Ibrahim Al Bishri were part of Qatar Rail’s Ramadan 2015 initiative ‘This Ramadan: A simple thank you’ dedicated to over 24,000 labourers working on Doha Metro sites.
Top managers joined workers for Iftar at Barwa City accommodation site, Qatar University station’s Ramadan tent and Education City station’s canteen.
Al Subaie thanked workers of the Doha Metro Gold Line project for hard work.
“Because you are an integral part of our projects’ success, I want to thank each and every one of you for your constant efforts, commitment and dedication to helping realise Qatar Rail’s vision.
“We gather during Ramadan to celebrate our solidarity as one family; we want you to feel that Doha and Qatar Rail are your second home and to be assured that your safety, security and comfort remain our priority.”
Qatar Rail is committed to ensuring that its workers are provided with the best possible welfare facilities on and off construction sites.
The company has adopted and incorporated Welfare Standards for Migrant Workers (developed by Qatar Foundation) into its all design and build contracts.
Al Muhannadi visited the canteen and shared Iftar with workers. Ten workers were awarded for high performance in the past year.
“There is no better time than Ramadan to gather together and show how grateful we are for efforts you have put into realising railway projects. We are happy to confirm Qatar Rail’s permanent readiness to help all of you; our long-term partners whose daily contribution is making the railway mission possible,” he said.
Al Bishri visited Red Line workers at Qatar University station. Breaking the fast and sharing prayers with them, he said he looked forward to more persistence and dedication to bring the railway network to life.
During Iftars, special gifts were presented to every employee.
