Railways instruct to tighten security in trains, at stations during Eid

 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Railways Police has issued instructions to all Superintendents of Police (SP)Railways to tighten security in trains as well as at stations to avoid any untoward incident during Eid-ul-Fitr days.

 

The department had directed all SPs Railways to depute sufficient force at exit and entry points of all railway stations and strict watch to be carried out of suspicious persons, an official in the Ministry told APP.

 

Pakistan Railways Police Commando Force would be deputed at vulnerable installations and in trains, while bomb disposal staff would also be kept on alert for search of luggage and passengers at railway stations.

 

“The SPs Railways directed to conduct complete check and search of empty rakes before trains reach the platforms for departure for their destinations,” the official added.

 

All the SPs Railways would also be directed to remain present on Eid holidays and randomly check trains, stations and escorting staff.
