Indian culture has long been a cause of pride for Indians. One of the major ingredients of Indian culture in the bygone days was respect for women. Women were given their due respect in every aspect of life. But this noble ingredient of Indian culture seems to have vanished in the modern times. Women are now being harassed, assaulted and tortured. They are considered the weaker race, but that does not mean they deserve to live under a cloud of insecurity. There have been many instances of women harassment in train journeys. Indian Railways is doing their bit to protect women travelling alone. But their efforts have been somehow hampered by the woeful shortage of RPF and GRPF staff. Indian Railways have arranged for Ladies only coaches for all trains (where men’s entry is punishable by law). But these coaches are located at the end of train and serve as an easy escape route for the miscreants. The Railways Minister, Suresh Prabhu had declared in a press conference some days back that the Ladies only coaches will be shifted to the middle of the train to protect women better.
But for now, women who are travelling alone need to seek their own protection. Modern Indian women are a symbol of confidence. At RailYatri we want to make sure that today’s women can travel in a train compartment with the same level of confidence as exhibited in other walks of life. This is why we have launched a special “GPS Locator” feature to ensure easy tracking of women passenger. Our GPS Locator gives real time and exact location of the passengers when they are travelling in a train. Once you board a train, the tracker will tell you where you are presently located in respect to past or next six stations. There is also a sharing mechanism with this feature that keeps your friends and relatives informed about your location.
