RPF to install help kiosks at eight more railway stations in Tiruchi Division
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) is expanding its digital assistance kiosk program to eight additional stations in the Tiruchi Division. These kiosks allow passengers to report security issues and seek emergency help in areas lacking a permanent RPF presence.
Why it matters
This initiative demonstrates the use of technology to improve public safety and service accessibility in transportation infrastructure.
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) will expand its technology-driven passenger assistance initiative by setting up RPF Assistance Management System kiosks at eight more railway stations in Tiruchi Railway Division. This follows encouraging response from the travellers and prompt response mechanism from the RPF.
The help kiosks are to be installed at Tirupadrippuliyur, Needamangalam, Mannargudi, Vellore Cantonment, Tiruvannamalai, Thanjavur, Nagore, and Karaikal railway stations to deliver smarter and more responsive railway security services.
The Divisional Railway Manager, Tiruchi, Balak Ram Negi, has accorded approval for the installation of RPF help kiosks at eight stations. The project was first introduced at Srirangam railway station in November 2025 and was subsequently extended to Chidambaram and Puducherry stations in February.
