Daltonganj, Feb 20: RPF Garhwa Road junction post under the command of the inspector in-charge Banarasi Yadav is tirelessly working on crowd management at the railway stations at Garhwa road junction and Daltonganj.
Passengers are being updated on the arrival of the trains by the RPF in addition to the mandatory public announcement done by the railways here.
Passengers are advised not to panic or show haste either boarding the compartment or getting down from the train.
RPF inspector in-charge Banarasi Yadav said, “We are constantly telling passengers not to make any attempt to board the running train. It’s very dangerous. Attempt to board any running train is a serious life risk.”
RPF team is lending a great helping hand to elderly men and women to board the train.
