Railways strengthening security
In the wake of the Mumbai terror strikes, Railways is strengthening security and has sanctioned Rs 60 crore, as a first step, to provide more arms and latest equipment like close circuit TVs to the Railway Protection Force, Minister of State for Railways R Velu said.
Security concerns, which led the South Eastern Railway to suspend night-time running of trains on the Maoist-affected Kharagpur-Adra and Kharagpur-Rourkela sections in the wake of the derailment of the Jnaneswari Express on May 28, has played havoc with train timings and maintenance schedules.
