Thiruvananthapuram: Emulating the highly successful Janamaithri Suraksha programme of the state police, Kerala Railway Police are now planning to launch a community policing scheme -- called Janayathra Suraksha programme -- next month to ensure better safety of passengers in trains.
If in Janamaithri model the police joined hands with local residents to ensure better safety in their neighbourhood, in Janayathra programme the Kerala Railway Police will have the support of regular passengers and railway officials.
“The programme will ensure community participation in maintenance of public order and crime reduction, and improve safety of passengers in trains and at railway stations. The idea of Janayathra Suraksha programme was born out of the realisation that police-community partnership is essential to ensure safety of public and bring down crime rate,” said Kerala Railway Police SP Ch Nagaraju.
The Kerala Railway Police will follow the same manual of Janamaithri programme, although with a few modifications to suit their way of functioning.
A Janayathra Suraksha committee will be formed at all 13 railway police stations, which will have police officers, regular passengers, passengers’ association members and railway officials as its members.
The committee will regularly look into the issues of railway passengers and find solutions to the problems.
