At a high-level meeting presided over by DGP RP Sharma on Monday, it was decided that in case of all Rail Rokos criminal prosecution would be initiated against the agitators as they cause loss to Government properties and inconvenience to the passengers.
The security setup for railways in the State from both GRP and RPF sides was reviewed. It was decided to bring more number of railway stations under CCTV coverage. It was observed that due to CCTV coverage many cases of theft have been detected in major railway stations like Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Puri, Rourkela and Jharsuguda.
The incidents of sabotage involving loss of railway properties in the State were also discussed, particularly on the lWE threat to railways especially in southern Odisha. It was decided to intensify the patrolling and augment resources in vulnerable areas affected by CPI (Maoists).
DGP Sharma emphasised that both GRP and RPF should ensure a crime free and people friendly environment in the railway stations and running trains. He directed that stringent action must be initiated against police personnel if they are found involved in any wrong doings.
