In the light of a recent firing incident involving a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable, who had shot dead four people including his senior officer on a moving train, the Railway Board has constituted a six-member high-level committee to suggest systemic measures to ascertain mental health of RPF staff.
“The committee will examine the precautions to be taken before weapon is issued to RPF personnel. We will also examine what type of weapon should be issued,” one of the committee members told The Hindu.
