In view of 79th Independence Day celebrations, Southern Railway RPF have beefed up the security arrangements in order to avert any unforeseen or untoward incidents. Security has been enhanced in Trains, Railway stations and premises in coordination with Govt. Railway Police/Local Police and Sister departments of Railways.
The following measures have been undertaken by the RPF wing of Southern Railway to enhance security arrangements in order to ensure safe train operations and safe travel for railway passengers.
·Deployment of high visibility policing by RPF/RPSF staff at stations and Railway premises are being made to make their presence visible to the public with a view to instill a sense of confidence among them.
·Crowded areas like Cloak Rooms, Waiting Halls, Toilets, Parcel areas, Lobbies and concourse areas where a large assembly of passengers are being kept under constant vigil. RPF Staff are also deployed in civilian clothes (mufti police) for specific periods to keep watch on suspicious persons.
·Random checking/scanning of packages/ parcels through HHMDs/DFMDs are being done on security angles.
·CCTV monitoring is being made more meticulous and intensive.

·Regular interaction with the Railway employees, regular commuters and other functionaries like Conservancy staff, Coolies, Porters, Tea Stall workers, Labourers, Vendors, Lease holders or Contractors, Taxi Drivers, Passengers, etc. to make them security conscious.
·Dissemination of security awareness messages through PA system in high footfall areas such as concourse area, waiting hall, yards, railway station, and practice of evacuation drills.
·Trains, Platforms and Parking areas will be checked with Sniffer Dogs in coordination with GRP/Local Police.
·The entry points are limited so that proper checking of the passengers can be made in major stations.
