South Western Railway's Railway Protection Force made significant strides in September, rescuing 51 children separated from their families under Operation 'Nanhe Faristheh'. The disciplined efforts of the RPF ensured these children were safely handed over to NGOs or the police for secure placement.
Further demonstrating its social commitment, the RPF, under Operation Dignity, helped six elderly persons in need of care. These individuals were reunited with their families or placed with suitable NGOs after comprehensive verification processes. In another initiative, 'Meri Saheli', RPF officers ensured the safe travel of women by sharing travel details with station teams to provide real-time assistance.
Tackling the menace of ticket touting, the RPF apprehended 46 individuals across Karnataka and Goa under Operation 'Uplabdh', seizing 96 active and 140 used tickets to combat black marketing and ensure genuine passengers had fair access to travel resources.
