Enhanced CCTV coverage for women safety at stations
With special emphasis on the security of women passengers, Eastern Railway’s Railway Protection Force (RPF) has intensified routine patrols and CCTV surveillance at various stations.
A mid-air small conversation became a new business relationship in the Eastern Railway.
It was on 2 February when a passenger, Akshay Satnaliwala handed over a plea on a simple tissue paper to railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, who was also travelling in the same flight from Delhi to Kolkata.
The co-passenger wrote a proposal on the transportation of plastic waste on a tissue paper which was accepted by Mr Vaishnaw. Within six minutes at midnight after de-boarding the flight at Kolkata, Mr Satnaliwala received a call from Eastern Railway’s general manager’s office. The GM of ER, Milind K Deouskar, today held a meeting with Mr Satnaliwala who is the director of a solid waste management company discussing the freight prospect from the organization.
