MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI SRIPRAKASH JAISWAL)
(a) to (d): There is no proposal to deploy Central Para Military Forces (CPMFs) to guard the moving trains. The Government Railway Police (GRP) is entrusted with the responsibility to provide escort duties in trains to prevent crimes. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) is also now supplementing such efforts. This Ministry has informed the Ministry of Railways that, if necessary, RPF personnel could be provided training by the training institutes of CPMFs.
