Under the mission ‘Nanhe Faristey’, the Railway Protection Force played a pivotal role in reuniting more than 521 children in need of care and protection with their families.
“These children were separated from their families for various reasons, and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) worked tirelessly to ensure their safe return to home,” the Ministry of Railways said on Thursday.
The RPF takes the security of women passengers seriously under the “Meri Saheli” initiative. During the month of February, 228 “Meri Saheli” teams attended 10,659 trains and provided security assurance to 2.73 lakh women passengers.
The RPF also took legal action against 7,357 people who were found travelling in coaches reserved for the women passengers.
Under Operation NARCOS, the RPF arrested 86 individuals and seized narcotics, valued at Rs 3.41 crore during the month of February. These offenders were handed over to empowered Government agencies for further legal action.
Many passengers forget to collect all their belongings in a rush to board the train or leave the train/station. Under Operation Amanat, the RPF personnel help in securing such belongings and restore them to the rightful owner. Under this operation, the RPF retrieved luggage approximately valued at more than Rs 5.69 crore.
