Lucknow: With the purpose to check crime on trains, Uttar Pradesh police plans to install CCTV cameras in special trains passing through the state.
"There is a proposal to install CCTV cameras in AC as well as general coaches of special trains for video recording," Director General of Police (Railway) Rizwan Ahmad said.
He said the purpose was to go through the footage in case of any incident so that the criminals could be identified easily.
For now, the proposal has been made for some special trains," he said.
"All the SPs of the Government Railway Police in the state have been directed to take assistance of authorities concerned in this regard," he said.
"SPs of GRP in other places have been directed to chalk out similar scheme," he said.
Ahmad said a scheme had also been chalked out to paste stickers of phone numbers of GRP railway stations on the route in all coaches of trains passing through UP.
The DG said at times when platform was not vacant, incoming trains were halted at outer signal during late hours, which increases possibility of crime. He said high-mast lights should be installed and GRP and Railway Protection Force jawans should be deployed.
He said it has been directed that if rail traffic was disrupted due to accident or other reason and a train stops at a small station, GRP should coordinate with local police and deploy adequate force so that incidents of crime, including misbehaviour with women, do not take place.
The DG said the GRP officials have been directed to carry out verification of all vendors and attendants and take action against unauthorised ones.
