6 March 2014 5:23 AM IST
‘Rajiv Chowk is the busiest Metro station with around 6 lakh commuters using it every day. The assistance booth will help commuters in case they are pick-pocketed or misplace their belongings,’ commissioner of police BS Bassi told reporters after inaugurating the booth.
Bassi said that two to three police personnel will be deployed at the booth throughout the day.
Commuters who lose their belongings, etc. on Delhi Metro can register an FIR at the booth without now needing to go to the police station for the same, he added.
‘Women constables will also be deployed at the booth from time to time. The booth will bridge the gap between the people and police. Computers will be also installed at the booth so that a copy of the complaint may be given to complainants,’ he added.
DMRC managing director Mangu Singh said that such booths would soon come up at other Metro stations like Kashmiri Gate, Dilshad Garden, Chandni Chowk, Kirti Nagar, Shahdara, Inderlok, Vishwavidyalaya, AIIMS, Central Secretariat, Pragati Maidan, Karkarduma, Nehru Palace and Dhaula Kaun.
Joint commissioner of police (New Delhi) MK Meena said that every SHO has been asked to travel on Delhi Metro so that people may feel safer.
