In a move to make daily commuting for women safer, Central Railway has come up with a scheme that would involve volunteers, Railway Protection Force (RPF) officers and a live monitoring of minute-to-minute complaints for immediate redressal.

The service has been named ‘Smart Sahelee’ where SMART stands for Suburban Mumbai Assertive Rail Travellers. CR on Tuesday said it will create WhatsApp groups for its 1,774 local train trips, and each group will have four daily women commuters as volunteers and a dedicated RPF officer as its members. These will be connected to a central monitoring system at the headquarters.
