693 railway police posts vacant; Only 1 cop per 2K suburban train passengers
Mumbai: For every 2,000 suburban train commuters in the city, there is just one police personnel deployed to maintain law and order, highlighting a severe manpower crunch in railway policing.
Mumbai’s suburban railway network carries around 6.8 million to 8 million passengers daily, making it one of the busiest transport systems in the world. However, the Government Railway Police (GRP) continues to function with significant staff shortages.
