The Railway Protection Force (RPF) will create a digital repository of potentially crowded events at railway stations from 2022 onwards to help authorities forecast passenger surges, deploy manpower, regulate passenger movement and coordinate with state police to prevent untoward incidents.
The initiative, called the ‘DS-12 E-Forecasting Register of RPF for High-Footfall Events’ (EFRR), will serve as a single digital repository for advance forecasting, monitoring, action taken and post-event assessment of high-footfall events across Indian Railways.
