The development may create some hurdles in passenger safety in the short term, especially on the Central Railway network, as the government railway police (GRP) and the railway protection force (RPF) rely on CCTV cameras to detect and solve crimes. But once the certification process is streamlined, installation will proceed at pace, boosting security in the long run, railway officials told Hindustan Times.
