Seventh All India Conference of Railway Police Chiefs

26 Feb 2026 CW Team

Participants engaged in comprehensive discussions to frame a coordinated programme of action and a procedural framework to strengthen passenger safety and protection of railway infrastructure. Deliberations covered measures to improve basic facilities for GRP personnel and to foster closer coordination and joint operations between state police forces and central security agencies. Emphasis was placed on developing a holistic security architecture combining technology, intelligence, field coordination and community outreach.

Delegates noted that the Indian railway network, owing to its vast geographical spread and high passenger footfall, remains vulnerable to a spectrum of threats including organised crime, trafficking of narcotics, vandalism, stone pelting and potential acts of sabotage. The conference recommended wider adoption of FRS-based CCTV systems, artificial intelligence driven video analytics and drone surveillance to enhance detection and identification capabilities. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) outlined the need for proactive surveillance and real time intelligence sharing to disrupt drug trafficking networks.

The chiefs endorsed regular mock drills and scenario based training modules to improve first response, evacuation, crowd control and incident management. The conference also urged stronger community outreach and awareness programmes in vulnerable localities alongside strict legal measures to deter offenders. The outcomes are expected to align RPF and GRP strategies, to enable more resilient, responsive and technology enabled railway security.
