Mumbai Railways Step Up Security At Dadar Station Ahead Of CJP's October 2 Shivaji Park Protest

Mumbai's Central and Western Railways have bolstered security at Dadar station and the surrounding regions in anticipation of a protest by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) at Shivaji Park on October 2. This surge in security is aimed at handling the anticipated surge in passenger traffic and maintaining order at one of Mumbai's busiest railway stations.

An additional 40 personnel, primarily from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and commercial department, have been stationed at Dadar by Central Railway. These staff members will be positioned on platforms and other crucial areas to support travelers and monitor the situation during the protest. Western Railway has also made similar arrangements, deploying around 40-50 additional personnel from the RPF, Government Railway Police (GRP) and commercial department.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has expressed his discontent, stating that these actions are a manifestation of dictatorship and fear. He believes that the nation is angry and will no longer remain silent, which is why authorities are issuing threats. The protest is expected to bring numerous participants to Shivaji Park in Dadar.

The additional deployment is designed to curb crowd congestion on platforms, regulate passenger movement, and ensure the seamless functioning of the railway system. Railway officials stated that the deployment will be reassessed based on the situation and crowd movement on the day of the protest.
