PUNE: With luggage checking machines at both entrance gates being removed due to technical problems, metal detector machines not working properly at some spots, and CCTV cameras still to be installed in some parts, passenger security at Pune railway station has gone for a toss. To make matters worse, Railway Protection Force (RPF) police officials are complaining of inadequate staff.
The two luggage checking machines at both entrance gates of Pune railway station are being removed due to technical issues. “Both luggage checking machines are being removed and we do not have adequate staff for deployment in their place. The RPF currently does not have adequate staff for us to be able to cover the entire station premises,” a senior RPF police official said.
