Indian Railways has launched “Meri Saheli” initiative for focused action on security of women across all zones.
It amis to provide safety and security to lady passengers travelling by trains for their entire journey from starting station to destination station.
It is an initiative of Railway Protection Force (RPF).
It entails interaction with lady passengers especially those travelling alone by a team of young lady RPF personnel at the originating station.
These lady passengers are briefed about all precautions to be taken during the journey and told to dial 182 in case they face or see any problem in the coach.
The platform duty RPF personnel at the stopping stations en-route keep unobtrusive watch over the concerned coaches and berths and if need arises, interact with the lady passengers.
