Indian Railways is set to begin counselling sessions for its security force to address mental health concerns. The move follows a shooting incident in July, in which a former Railway Protection Force officer killed four people. The counselling sessions will initially involve 40 to 50 staff members and will be conducted by professional counsellors. The railways will also introduce a "buddy system" to encourage staff to discuss their issues with each other. The sessions will take place at multiple locations and the outcomes will inform future medical and mental assistance efforts.
