RPF helpline to be integrated with Passenger Helpline

Security of passengers has been of prime concern to Indian Railways. It is proposed to complete the installation of Integrated Security System at all the 202 identified stations during 2012-13. Additionally, escorting of trains by RPF/GRP has been extended to almost 3500 trains. It is also proposed to integrate the RPF helpline with the All India Passenger helpline to facilitate much faster response to the security needs of passengers.

Expressing his unhappiness over the present standard of hygiene and cleanliness in the Indian Railways, the Railway Minister Shri Dinesh Trivedi said that all out efforts would be made to improve the situation on trains and at the stations within the next six months. He said this is a very special activity which comes under the core area of house-keeping. Shri Trivedi said Indian Railways is duty bound to provide high standards in both, as this is giving a bad name to the otherwise efficient train system. The Minister proposed to set up a specialised house-keeping body to take care of both, i.e. stations and the trains.
