RPF ordered immediate operationalisation of DS-12 E-Forecasting Register for crowd surges

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) introduced a digital system called the "DS-12 E-Forecasting Register of RPF for High-Footfall Events" (EFRR) to forecast, monitor and record actions and post-event assessments for high-footfall events at railway stations. On 2026-09-17, RPF headquarters directed senior zonal security officials to operationalise the EFRR with immediate effect and ensure timely data entry of forthcoming events, including building a repository of potentially crowded events from 2022 onwards.
