This can also help RPF personnel for safety of passengers and protection of railway properties, an East Coast Railway (RCoR) official said. This hi-tech patrolling system will also increase the mobility and improve the response time of RPF personnel and will be helpful in more visible policing, he said. This will also solve the passengers grievance quickly at the station. RPF personnel have been trained and more Segway will be introduced as per the feasibility.

ECoR General Manager, Vidya Bhushan inaugurated this facility at Bhubaneswar Railway Station in presence of Principal Chief Security Commissioner of RPF Raja Ram. To begin with, as many as six Segway units have been deployed in Bhubaneswar, and the facility is likely to be introduced in Cuttack and Puri stations soon.
