Expressing concern over the recurring incidents of attacks on women passengers and frequent robbery attempts in trains, the Confederation of All India Rail Users Association (CAIRUA) has called upon the Ministry of Railways to seriously consider the appointment of more women personnel in the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Government Railway Police.
The confederation that recently held a meeting of its regional leaders in Kozhikode pointed out that weak patrolling, because of poor staff strength, was seriously hitting safety measures in trains.
