RPF Pune divisional security commissioner Uday Singh Pawar said, “When the train operations resumed last year, we found many children roaming alone at platforms or outside the Pune railway station premises.”

With the recruitment done in 2019, the Railway Protection Force has become the Central Paramilitary Force with the maximum number of women.

While a total of 50 trainers will be brought in to teach the new crop of women constables, 50% of them or 25 trainers will be women.
