Panic Siren System To Be Installed At Samastipur Stations

Railway authorities in the Samastipur division will install a panic siren system at all A, B and C category stations as well as at local stations to enhance passenger safety. The division has engaged a private agency to carry out the implementation across its network. The system will allow passengers and railway employees to trigger an audible alarm by pressing an emergency button when they sense danger. This measure is intended to ensure rapid notification of station staff and security agencies.

Installation work has already begun along the Saharsa–Mansi section and the second phase will extend the system to major stations including Sitamarhi, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Bettiah and Motihari. Officials said the entire installation will be monitored online by the division control centre. The division aims to complete the work at all stations within 45 to 50 days. The timetable reflects an accelerated roll out to provide prompt protection.

Panic buttons will be fitted on every platform and positioned near ticket counters with a prominent red button for easy access. Once activated, the siren will sound across the station and will alert the station master and security personnel. Simultaneously the division control system will receive a real time alert to enable a coordinated response. The design is intended to reduce response time during incidents.

The system architecture will link local alarms to the division control centre and to relevant security agencies so that assistance can be mobilised without delay. Officials explained that online monitoring will allow verification of alerts and tracking of response actions. The private agency will also be responsible for maintenance and periodic testing to ensure ongoing readiness. This approach seeks to integrate the panic siren with existing safety protocols.

Authorities expect the intervention to strengthen safety mechanisms and to improve protection for both passengers and railway staff across the division. The roll out is part of a broader effort to modernise station security and to reassure travellers. Further technical details and an inventory of installed units were not disclosed. The division will provide updates.
