Monitoring of Rail Tracks

Indian Railways have a system of scheduled inspections and patrolling by Railway officials which includes Keyman’s daily patrol for monitoring of tracks including those existing in lonely locations in the country.

In addition, protection and security of tracks and bridges is the statutory responsibility of States which is being discharged by them through concerned District police.

Necessary coordination/liaison is maintained by RPF with GRP and district police to ensure smooth train operation over Indian Railways.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Manoj Sinha in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
