Jammu, Dec 9: Inspector General Police (Railway) on Thursday said the railway police was contemplating to meet security arrangement and raise security related infrastructure all along the Udhampur-Katra-Qazigund railway, well before the laying of railway track,.
“This time railway police have planned to put-in-place the required security arrangements, infrastructure, and other things all along the surveyed area, well in advance, from Udhampur-Katra-Qazikund railway track for the safety of the cops and tracks,” IG (Railway) Naveen Kumar Aggarwal told Greater Kashmir.
The IG (Railway) said that earlier the department had not planned security arrangements during the laying of Jammu-Udhampur railway track due to which the police personnel at some identified points have been facing problems like non-availability of electricity, drinking water and guard rooms.
During inspection of the Udhampur-Jammu railway track today, he said, he was pleased with alertness being observed by the railway police on the track.
“The concerned authorities who accompanied me during security checking were directed to construct more guard rooms, made available electricity, drinking water and other things of daily use for the facility of the cops who have been performing their duty in difficult terrains, near the tunnels and other places of security importance,” the senior police officer said.
Saying the railway police needs more cops for strengthening security grid in the sensitive areas, particularly around the railway tunnels, , the department would soon meet the shortage of cops and deploy adequate number of them at the required points.
