Over 3,600 Minors Rescued By RPF From Trains, Station In Last 5 Years

The Railway Protection Force personnel have rescued 3,674 minors from trains and stations in the past five years. East Central Railway’s (ECR) Chief S Mayank says, the RPF keeps constant vigil and regular checks on minors loitering at the stations. While the RPF rescued highest number (1,309) of children in 2017, the railways cited domestic issues over the most eloped cases. However, the ECR have installed Child Help Desks at various stations to protect minors.
