The Government Railway Police (GRP) in Uttar Pradesh revealed that railway tracks and trains were targeted around 550 times over the last one and a half years. To stop these incidents, the GRP has identified 250 hotspots across the state where security will be tightened. The administration is now using modern technology to ensure passenger safety.
How is the GRP increasing surveillance on tracks?
The GRP is deploying drones and solar-powered cameras to keep a close watch on vulnerable areas. They have also introduced ‘Rail Mitras’ to help with ground monitoring. Following instructions from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the railway security is being made high-tech with a zero-tolerance policy against crime. To strengthen the force, 26 inspectors from the UP Police headquarters were transferred to the GRP for a three-year tenure.
What are the strict actions being taken against offenders?
The railway authorities are taking a tough stand against those damaging railway property. Cases are being heard in fast-track courts to ensure quick punishment. DG Railway Police Prakash D. stated that chaotic elements are being identified and strict legal action is being taken. Additionally, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) recently busted an ISI-supported module led by gangster Shehzad Bhatti that planned to blow up tracks in UP, Punjab, Bihar, and Maharashtra.
