Howrah Division Develops Advanced Ballistic Shield

Howrah Division Develops Advanced Ballistic Shield

The Howrah Division of Eastern Railway has created a special protective shield for the Railway Protection Force (RPF).

This shield is made of strong materials and can protect RPF personnel from bullets, stones, and other dangers.

It is big enough to cover a person who is 7 feet tall and has a clear glass window so they can see what's happening around them.

The shield can be moved quickly in any direction because it has wheels, and two people can use it together.

This will help keep RPF personnel safe during their work, especially in crowded places.

Additionally, the railway is planning to install face recognition systems and X-ray scanners at important stations like Howrah and Sealdah to improve passenger security.
