SC asks Centre, railway ministry to respond to plea seeking better security of passengers on trains
FirstpostThe Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre and Ministry of Railways to respond to a plea seeking directions to ensure security of passengers travelling in trains. New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre and Ministry of Railways to respond to a plea seeking directions to ensure security of passengers travelling in trains and re-evaluate safety measures. A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud issued notices on the plea which has alleged that security measures in trains were dismal and the government has not yet installed CCTV cameras inside the train compartments for the safety of passengers. Raising the issue of safety in trains, the petitioner has claimed that “security measures on Indian Railway trains are dismal and it is a common occurrence that after every incident the initial crucial time for investigation is lost on the issue of jurisdiction of security by investigative agencies.” The plea has also sought a direction to the government and the Railways to “ensure the safety of the passengers travelling by train and re-evaluate the safety measures”.
