Bhubaneswar: Considering Bhubaneswar railway station’s high vulnerability to militant attacks, a counter-terrorist multiagency mock drill was organised to ensure operational preparedness and contingency plan during terrorist crisis at the railway station.

Railway Protection Force (RPF); Special Operation Group, Chandaka; Government Railway police (GRP), Commissionerate of Police, Traffic police, Fire Brigade officials, State BDDS, medical staff, RPF dog squad and station staff participated in the mock drill.

The mock drill included evacuation of passengers to a safe place, shifting of injured RPF officials to hospital, information to local police, controlling the civilians and hostage rescue.

Since Bhubaneswar railway station is one of the busiest railway stations in the country, which handles a number of VIPs, dignitaries and common people on daily basis, it is considered one of the vulnerable installations prone to militant attacks.

Kalyan Pattanaik, Additional Divisional Railway Manager (Operation), Khurda Road; M Sambashiva Rao, Divisional Security Commissioner, Khurda Road and DN Tripathi, Superintendent of Railway Police (SRP) were present during the mock drill.
