Intensive security and anti-sabotage checkings are being conducted by RPF, Crime Intelligence Branch (CIB), Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) teams and Dog Squad at different stations and in trains of Metro Railway. SIB and CIB staff have also been deployed in plain clothes to keep a watch on suspicious persons on the platforms etc. Quick Response Teams (QRT) are moving from one station to another to tackle any emergency, if required.

Random checking of luggages will be done and more lady RPF staff will be deployed to check lady passengers. Random checks will be organized on platforms, running trains and Railway premises. Few mock drills have already been conducted to check preparedness and alertness of RPF personnel. Parking areas/vehicles parked and rail yards are also being checked with Sniffer Dogs and a Special team has been formed to guard these utilities.
