Railway Protection Force achieves significant milestones in various sectors

South Western Railway's RPF officials achieve milestones in safeguarding passengers, reuniting children, cracking down on touts, and more.

South Western Railway’s Railway Protection Force (RPF) officials have achieved significant milestones in their service.

The officers and personnel have been working in safeguarding railway property, passenger areas and the well-being of travellers. They are also assisting Indian Railways in delivering reliable freight transport services to its customers.

In April 2024, RPF personnel rescued 22 children, including four girls, who were separated from their families, and reunited them.

Officials were involved tracing, protecting and reuniting the children under the Operation Nanhe Farishthe.

Similarly, under Meri Saheli initiative, RPF protected women travellers by collecting seat or berth numbers of single female passengers and sharing the information with officials all along the route of their travel.

At the destination, feedback from the identified passengers is collected for corrective response.

Meri Saheli members also help women passengers in availing of autorickshaw or bus services and in carrying belongings of elderly and needy passengers. As many as 28 trains have been identified under this operation.
