BENGALURU: The Access Control System (ACS) was launched at KSR Railway station as an added layer of security to keep a tab on every vehicle entering and leaving this busy station. Launched on January 26 last year, it was stopped for a few months owing to the COVID-19 pandemic but it was re-launched on August 1 this year. Now, it is not only in shambles but its operations too are erratic.
However, the contractor in-charge claims that the system stopped working only four days ago. Rakshak Securitas Pvt Ltd had been awarded a three-year contract by the Indian Rail Stations Development Corporation Limited to run the operations of the Access Control System at the main entrance and parking spaces at the station 24×7 since August. It has also bagged the contract for Pune and Secunderabad railway stations.
