RPF rescues 3 minor girls at Nagpur station
Nagpur: The Railway Protection Force (RPF) rescued three minor girls in two separate incidents on July 11 at Nagpur railway station under the ongoing 'Operation Nanhey Farishte', an initiative aimed at protecting children in distress on railway premises. In the first incident, RPF personnel during routine patrolling spotted a minor girl sitting near the ladies waiting room on platform no. 1. When questioned, the girl said she left her home without informing her parents due to a personal issue, but now wanted to return. The RPF immediately contacted her family and arranged for a medical check-up. Until her guardians arrived, she was placed under the care of the govt girls' shelter home at Katol naka. Later the same day, RPF staff found two more minor girls near the general waiting hall at the same platform. The girls said they ran away from home over domestic issues and reached Nagpur by train. A missing persons complaint was already registered for them at their local police station. The RPF personnel contacted the girls' families. After medical check-ups, both girls were also placed in the same shelter home.
