Indian Railways Meri Saheli: Indian Railways started a campaign for women passengers, now 'Meri Saheli' will take full care of women passengers in the train..
When a woman travels alone on a train, she remains very worried. The female passenger is worried about what she will do if she faces any problem during the journey or how will she go home if she reaches the station at night. Given all these problems of the female passenger, Indian Railways has started a campaign on the theme 'Meri Saheli'.
This campaign has been started by the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Even before this, Indian Railways started many campaigns keeping in mind the safety of women.
About the 'Meri Saheli' campaign
Under this campaign, RPF provides security to the female passenger. In this, the RPF team keeps an eye on those female passengers who are traveling alone. RPF also contacts women who travel for long distances. RPF tells the female passenger that in case of any problem, she can contact helpline number 182.
According to media reports, in the Meri Saheli scheme, RPF collects the details of female passengers traveling alone. After this, these female passengers are contacted. Meri Saheli team is present at every station. One team gives information about the female passenger to the other team so that after the train arrives at the station, the RPF team contacts the female passenger. If the female passenger faces any problem, then the RPF team tries to solve that problem.
RPF has started this campaign so that women traveling alone feel safe. If a female passenger faces difficulty in going home, then a female constable takes her home.
