The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for guarding Delhi Metro stations, has recovered and returned lost currency and bank documents worth Rs 22.8 lakh over the past six months. Additionally, the force retrieved 80 grams of loose gold, various gold and silver ornaments, 32 laptops, 68 mobile phones, and nine valuable personal watches.
Reuniting Missing Children
Between January and June this year, CISF personnel rescued and successfully reunited 69 missing or runaway children with their families. This effort was carried out in close coordination with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and the child helpline.
Assistance to Women Passengers
During the same period, CISF's quick-response teams and station staff provided immediate and tactical assistance to 152 women passengers in distress. This ensured safe passage and a secure environment for women commuting at all hours.
Recovery of Foreign Currency
Apart from domestic currency, CISF also recovered and returned foreign currency to international tourists. This included 80 British pounds, 6,000 Nepalese rupees, 130 Singapore dollars, and 1.15 crore Indonesian rupiah.
Commitment to Security and Service
A CISF spokesperson stated, "The Delhi Metro is a highly dynamic environment where security cannot be compromised, yet service with a human face remains our core philosophy. Our jawans stand on their feet for long, grueling hours to ensure that every commuter returns home safely. Whether we are scanning a bag for threats, protecting a lost child, or returning a passenger's hard-earned money, our commitment to 'protection and security' remains absolute."
Training of External Security Forces
The CISF DMRC unit provided training in urban transit security to elite security forces over the last six months. A total of 389 external security personnel from the Indian Army, CRPF, ITBP, UP Special Security Force, Railway Protection Force, and International Bureau of Security Academies were trained in advanced physical frisking and high-tech gadget-handling techniques.
