## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3025 TO BE ANSWERED ON 16.03.2016

## MULTIPLE SECURITY AGENCIES

3025.  SHRI A.T. NANA PATIL:

## Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state:

- (a) whether  the Government  is  aware  that involvement of multiple security agencies like GRP, RPF, State police, etc. in providing security to railways causes a lot of discomfort to passengers;
- (b) if  so,  the  details  thereof  along  with  the  reasons  for  involvement  of multiple security agencies for the purpose; and
- (c) the  steps  taken  by  Government  to  ensure  seamless  policing  and security  to  Indian  Railways  network  by  giving  adequate  and  absolute powers to RPF?

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS

## ANSWER (SHRI MANOJ SINHA)

(a) &(b):  Cases  of  crime  on  Railways  are  reported  to,  registered  and investigated by the Government Railway Police (GRP), a separate wing of State  Police  responsible  for    prevention  and  detection  of  crime  and maintenance of law and order over Railways. Besides sharing 50% cost on GRP,  Railways,  through  the  Railway  Protection  Force  (RPF),  are  also supplementing  efforts  of  States  for  strengthening  of  security  in  station premises and trains. In addition, concerned District Police is responsible for security of railway tracks, bridges and tunnels. As a result of the

presently  prevailing  three  tier  security  system  of  RPF,  GRP  and  District Police over Indian Railways, issues concerning coordination among these agencies may sometime occur, which may cause discomfort to passengers, especially with regard to registration of cases.

(c):  To  ensure  effective  and  seamless  passenger  security  over  Indian Railways, a proposal for amendment in the RPF Act, 1957 has been moved by  the  Ministry  of  Railways  with  the  concurrence  and  approval  of  the Ministries of Law & Justice and Home Affairs to empower RPF to register and  investigate  passenger  related  criminal  offences  in  passenger  area. Comments of States have been solicited on the proposed amendments in the  RPF  Act.  Comments  have  so  far  been  received  from  25  States. However,  the  Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  has  recently  conveyed  certain observations on the above proposal. Matter is under consideration in the Ministry of Railways.
