The Central Railway will be installing panic switches at 117 railway stations on its network, a top official said here on Thursday. Speaking at his first news conference after taking charge of the post, Central Railway general manager Ram Karan Yadav said two panic switches will be installed on each platform at 117 stations.
In case of emergency, a passenger can press the button to seek help from the Railway Protection Force (RPF). A senior CR official said the Central Railway has signed an MoU with RailTel for the installation. “On pressing the panic button, the RPF control will get an alert and immediate help will be sent to the passengers by checking the CCTV,” the official said.
