The Railway Protection Force (RPF) on Central Railway (CR) has rescued and reunited 858 children with their families between April and November 2023. According to the data provided by RPF, the Mumbai division within the Central Railway saw the highest number of children rescued at 252. The children have been rescued under a special operation called, ‘Operation Nanhe Farishtey’. The 858 children include 591 boys and 267 girls.
According to RPF Police Inspector (PI) Rekha Mishra, most of the children found on railway platforms enter cities by travelling in express trains. “We find children just sitting cluelessly on station platforms. They either leave their homes due to disputes in the family or with the aspiration to earn a living in the city,” said Mishra, who is currently posted at Mulund RPF.
