The paramilitary force that monitors the network that runs through the region of the national capital has formulated a “business continuity plan” for the safety of passengers and staff working at the facility.
The proposed measures, according to the plan PTI agrees to, will be forcibly implemented “in consultation” with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and its Urban Development control ministry.
The plan has been prepared to guarantee “public confidence in the ability of the fast rail network to comply under any circumstances and to thwart the evil designs of disruptive forces to hit the proper functioning of the network.”
Under the force’s planned plan, which deploys some 12,000 men and women to monitor more than 160 subway stations, rail network services should be gradually resumed.
“The Aarogya Setu app with the built-in e-pass feature could be used to identify suspicious people (who have Covid-19 infection). People at high risk of both spreading and catching infections should be discouraged from using the subway “said the plan.
“All persons entering the subway facilities will be required to wear masks. Sanitation or hand washing facilities will be available at the entry points.”
“Thermal screening of all participants to be performed at the stations entry point and those with abnormal temperatures will not be allowed in and people with a cold, cough and other flu-like symptoms will not be allowed in,” he said. the proposal.
CISF Director General (DG) Rajesh Ranjan told the news agency that the plan has been prepared taking into account the “speed, safety and security” of passengers, force personnel, DMRC personnel and others present in the area are insured.
The force has suggested that all passengers will have to remove metal items such as belts and buckles before registering and storing them in their bags that will be scanned by an X-ray machine.
Those without bags but carrying metal items will receive trays, as in the case of airport security, according to the proposal.
“Strict rules of spacing will be followed throughout the station area and the appropriate waiting area before the security checkpoint is maintained,” he said.
At least two meters apart will be kept between the security inspection site and the alignment points and one meter between passengers waiting at the security inspection site, he said.
The CISF proposes to maintain at least two suits of personal protective equipment (PPE) in all metro stations “to handle a passenger or suspicious luggage.”
“Four PPE suits will be kept on hold. CISF staff will wear regular uniforms with fully covered sleeves, gloves, and masks that cover the nose and mouth.”
“Baggage hunters and X-ray baggage checkers should also wear a face shield or visor to protect their face, especially eyes from exposure,” he recommended.
To ensure that nefarious elements do not take advantage of the Covid-19 situation to violate the force’s anti-terrorist security coverage, he proposes “to intensify electronic and manual surveillance of all activities within the subway facilities.”
“Passengers will be informed through regular announcements to maintain social distancing. Stores and other commercial establishments to guarantee social distancing in their locations through brands,” he said.
The CISF has also asked the DMRC to deploy adequate personnel in paid areas, including automated gateways and fee platforms to maintain COVID-19 protocols.
“Passengers will be regularly advised to refrain from touching any surface inside subway or train stations,” the CISF plan said.
He has also proposed that the entire station area be disinfected with chemicals and safety accessories, equipment and X-ray tables should be disinfected every 30 minutes.
Among all the security forces, CISF has the largest public interface such as in Delhi’s airports and metro, a senior official said.
In the post-closure scenario, our staff will come into close contact with a large number of passengers on a daily basis while performing security tasks, especially during the security control of passengers and luggage, and therefore will be more exposed and susceptible to the virus, said.
