The All India Railway Helpline number 1512, which will help train passengers to register their complaints with police while travelling anywhere in the country, was today launched here by Union Minister Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary.

The helpline number will prove beneficial for the passengers and it needs to be widely publicised, the Minister of State for Home said. The helpline presently covers 27 states and all Union Territories.

Lauding the Delhi Police for its initiative in launching the railway helpline number, Chaudhary also commended them for less than one per cent crime rate in the national capital. Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi said that the helpline initiative was a brainchild of the Delhi police.

It was started first at the Delhi police's railway control room. The helpline number 1512 was allotted across the country by the efforts of the Delhi police which took help of Department of Telecom in this regard, he said.
