| Mushrooming of shops at railway stations pose security risk | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 4: Mushrooming of unlicensed food stalls, fruit vendors and
mobile shops within the premises of Jammu Railway station pose
security risk to safety of thousands of passengers waiting in the
arena before boarding their train.
Though the government is aware of risk this mushrooming posses but
neither the railway police force nor the railway authorities are
taking steps which are otherwise required to be taken. The freedom and
the ease with which any one and everyone is at liberty to sell goods
within the railway station premises does point to alleged nexus
between official authorities and the businessmen who are working on
the railway station.
Presence of these temporary food stalls, fruit stalls, snack bars lead
to assembly of large number of outstation passengers at one place and
it further adds to the miseries of security personnel deployed on duty
to protect rail passengers and prevent any other anti-national
activity.
There is no check on the activity of unlicensed vendors. Unconfirmed
reports suggest that easy money pocketed by select police personnel
make it convenient for unlicensed vendors to easily set their shops
and sell goods to passengers at exorbitant rates. Recently, when a
senior officer of the railway police conducted inspection, he took
note of mushrooming of food stalls and had directed the GRP
authorities to regularly monitor activities of vendors and avoid entry
of unlicensed vendors.
