Railways: Railway stations and routes will be monitored by drones.

 

Given the war-like situation, the railway administration can cancel the leaves of RPF and GRP jawans.

Railway sources say that major railway stations, including Charbagh and Lucknow Junction, will be monitored by drones. Officers have started preparing for this. The drone operation will be done from the control room. The integrated security system at the stations has been upgraded. Surveillance is being done with 155 CCTV cameras.
