Western Railways to install 1,600 CCTV cameras at stations
The Western Railways has announced plans to install 1,600 high-end CCTV cameras at railway stations, foot overbridges, and train compartments within 15 months. This comes after a safety audit team highlighted the need for more CCTVs after the stampede at Elphinstone Road railway station. The Railways has also proposed that 200 personnel be deployed at the stations to increase security.
