Emergency Talk Back System in ladies’ compartments and a high-tech CCTV network with face recognition on platforms — these are the steps the Government Railway Police (GRP) and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) have come up with to curb crime on railway stations and in trains.
The Emergency Talk Back System has been installed in 90 per cent of ladies compartments by the GRP to ensure the safety of women. Its main aim is to give women access to communication during emergencies. The system will alert the police and help them reach coaches swiftly. “The Emergency Talk Back System has been installed in 90 per cent of ladies coaches both in the first and the second classes. It has not been activated yet. We will complete installation soon,” said GRP’s Commissioner of Police (CP) Ravindra Shisave.
