Railways are the most reliable and safest means of transportation in the country. Beyond just providing transportation, the railways also fulfill significant social responsibilities. Numerous instances have occurred where young men and women, teenagers, and minor children become separated from their families or run away in anger. Some children even get trapped and are forced to take shelter at railway platforms. However, the railways take on the responsibility of safely reuniting these individuals with their families.
Under ‘Operation Nanhe Farishte,’ thousands of children have been reunited with their families over the past two years. In the Agra division alone, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) handed over 316 children to the Child Help Desk and Child Welfare Committee (CWC) in 2022, 147 children in 2023, and 21 children up to April 2024, following the established protocols. The RPF remains unwavering in its commitment to safeguarding railway property, passenger areas, and the well-being of travelers.
