The Central Railway (CR) and Western Railway (WR)’s GRP has launched an online survey. It aims to measure the safety of all women using local trains in Mumbai.
It is a month-long survey, which started on March 1 and will be conducted till March 31.
The results of this survey are expected to guide policies and initiatives aimed at creating a commuter-friendly and secure experience in Mumbai local.
The survey covers a range of topics related to safety, comfort, and overall commuting experiences. Participants are encouraged to provide feedback on existing safety measures and suggest improvements that can further safeguard women during their journeys. And by sharing their perspectives, commuters play a crucial role in shaping the future safety policies and practices for women travelling on the network, an official said.
The survey comprises 21 questions, covering topics crucial to enhancing safety. From frequency of travel to preferred routes, passholder status, age group, and purpose of travel, the questionnaire delves into the specifics of women commuters’ daily experiences.
The survey also touches on personal experiences of crime or incidents during the past six months, emphasising the importance of reporting such incidents to Railway Police Stations. Particular attention is given to the satisfaction levels with the police response in case of reported incidents.
One key aspect of the survey focuses on the perceived safety of 1st Class ladies compartments, particularly after 10 pm. This addresses a critical concern for many women who travel during off-peak hours.
Additionally, questions regarding the presence of uniformed policemen on railway platforms and inside local trains after 9 pm aim to evaluate the effectiveness of current security measures.
This feedback will be invaluable in identifying areas for improvement and ensuring that victims of crime receive support and justice.
