Assam: Northeast Frontier Railway Enhances Vigilance Along India-Bangladesh Border
RPF, GRP, BSF Conduct Coordinated Patrols to Secure Railway Tracks.
GUWAHATI- In a strategic move to bolster border security and safeguard critical railway infrastructure, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), in close coordination with the Government Railway Police (GRP) and Border Security Force (BSF), carried out joint patrolling in sensitive zones near the India-Bangladesh international border.
These operations were launched across multiple divisions of the NFR, with an emphasis on enhancing surveillance, ensuring passenger safety, and deterring potential threats along tracks running parallel to the border.
One of the key components of this initiative was a comprehensive security check at Badarpur railway station under the Lumding Division. Security personnel conducted thorough inspections of platforms, station premises, and surrounding areas to detect and prevent any unauthorized activity.

Further reinforcing the initiative, joint foot patrols were undertaken in two major divisions:
In the Alipurduar Division, patrolling was conducted from New Maynaguri to New Domohani, focusing on track safety and preventing illegal crossings.

These joint efforts underscore the importance of inter-agency coordination in national security operations. By combining the strengths and expertise of the RPF, GRP, and BSF, the Northeast Frontier Railway has reinforced its commitment to protecting both passengers and vital infrastructure.
The initiative has fostered a heightened sense of security among railway staff and travelers, while also serving as a visible deterrent to unlawful activities in border areas. NFR affirmed that such collaborative operations will continue regularly to uphold safety and protect national interests.
