Maligaon, 13th August 2018: Security of the Guwahati Railway station has
been beefed up considerably by N.F. Railway in view of the coming Independence
Day celebration. Guwahati is the biggest railway station of the Northeast with
a footfall of 40000 everyday and more than 30 pairs of trains pass through this
station daily. So security of this station is of paramount importance. A quick
reaction team comprising 13 fully armed RPSF jawans alongwith 26 RPF personnel
under one officer has been on shift duty at the station. 30 GRP personnel
alongwith 10 CRPF jawans are also helping in maintaining security of the
station in each shift.
To improve the overall
security some measures have been taken like; area domination by posting additional
manpower in the main concourse area, main entrance, Paltan Bazar gate,
Reservation Halls, Foot over Bridge, Platforms etc to ensure effective access
control. Separate entrance and exit points have been formed to regulate the
crowd. The main concourse area has also been
barricaded. Sniffer dogs have been deployed in three shifts to perform anti
sabotage checks. Random frisking of passengers with the help of hand metal
detectors is being carried out. Round the clock monitoring by CCTV of all
vulnerable areas is also being done.
In addition to above,
instructions have been issued to concerned departments to frequently check the
dustbins, Cloak rooms, parcels, parking area etc. Interactive sessions with the
coolies, vendors, taxi/auto rickshaw drivers have been organised to brief them
to keep watch over suspicious persons and article. Frequent announcements
through public announcement systems are also being made to create security
alertness among the passengers.
