Stone-pelting a worry for RPF

Deccan Chronicle  

Alappuzha: The ‘happy’ train journey in Kerala often becomes a nightmare for many passengers who fall victims to stone-pelting by anti-social elements. The other day, Sivankutty Nair, 54, an ex-serviceman from Pathiyoor near Kayamkulam, lost three teeth in stone-pelting near Karuvatta here while he was travelling by the Ernakulam-Kollam MEMU train around 11. However, the RPF keeps a vigil at the vulnerable stretches and conduct awareness programmes for the local people and school children in the areas. On February 2, 2015, stones were thrown at the same Ernakulam-Kollam MEMU train as it passed through Kumbalam near here at 8.15 p.m. On December 27 the same year, a woman passenger, who was travelling in the Thiruvananthapuram- Indore Express, was injured by a stone at Punnapara.
