Presenting the Railway Budget for 2009-10 in Parliament, Railway Minister Mamata
Banerjee said that she will also increase the number of women commandos.
Women RPF escorts are being deployed for security of women passengers,
particularly in sections where a large number of women travel alone regularly.
Banerjee said security is priority area of Railways and even though law and
order is a state subject, "we will work together with all agencies concerned to
give passengers a safe journey".
