Seventh All India Conference of Railway Police Chiefs

The seventh All India conference of Government Railway Police (GRP) chiefs was convened by the Railway Protection Force (RPF) at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi. The meeting was presided over by the Director General of the Railway Protection Force, Sonali Mishra, and attended by Director Generals of Police, Additional Director Generals of Police and senior officers from the GRP of various states and union territories. The gathering also included the Chairman-cum-CEO of the Railway Board, Satish Kumar, and other members of the Railway Board.

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.
