The railways will make the people aware about the modus operandi of jeharkhurani and other gangs.

Divisional railway manager (DRM) Anuj Prakash said the number of passengers increase manifold during summers so instructions have been issued to senior divisional safety commissioner of Railway Protection Force (RPF) regarding awareness. “The passengers will be made aware through loudspeakers, streetplays and video clips. The video clips will be played on the modus operandi of the jeharkhurani and other gangs, who become active during rush season, so that people can keep themselves safe. Besides, posters will also be displayed and streetplays on the safety procedures will be enacted at the stations like Ludhiana, Amrtisar, Jalandhar and Jammu.

Station superintendents have been asked to keep a check on the passengers on the foot overbridges and at the reservation counters. Railway Protection Force cops will keep tab on the touts active on reservation counters.
