Both are class four employees from the electrical department at our division. We are continuously monitoring passenger movement through more than 50 CCTV cameras in and around the station premises.

Also our ticket checkers and RPF policemen are keeping a watch on suspicious people on the station premises,” said Manoj Jhawar, Pune railway division spokesperson.

“It is unfortunate that such a case has happened, but our monitoring and vigilance around the station premises is going on 24x7 and if passengers find any suspicious activities or need help, they can contact policemen at the station,” added Jhawar.
