demonstrated its unwavering commitment towards passenger safety and humanitarian service
through a series of successful rescue operations carried out across its jurisdiction in recent days.
During the period from 24 th April to 30 th April 2026, RPF personnel rescued a significant
number of vulnerable individuals, including runaway minors and distressed passengers, from
various railway stations and trains.
In one of the major operations, RPF personnel at Dibrugarh railway station rescued 12

and protection. Similarly, multiple rescue operations were conducted at stations including
Guwahati, Lumding, Kishanganj, Kokrajhar, Hasimara, Mariani and New Alipurduar, where several
runaway minor boys and girls were traced and rescued.
Notably, at Mariani railway station, RPF rescued 3 minor girls, while at Guwahati railway
station, minors were safely reunited with their families after timely intervention. In separate
incidents, minors rescued at stations like Kishanganj, Lumding, Dimapur and Kokrajhar were
handed over to Child Help Line and other authorized agencies for safe custody and rehabilitation.
In addition to rescuing minors, RPF personnel also extended prompt assistance to
passengers in distress. At New Jalpaiguri, a passenger suffering from breathing difficulties was
immediately shifted to hospital for medical treatment. In other instances at Raiganj and Barsoi,
injured passengers were provided timely medical aid after accidental falls, highlighting the
alertness and responsiveness of RPF staff.
