Women’s compartment in Pune-Lonavla local unguarded; men often hop in; thefts common

DESPITE repeated complaints by them, women commuters travelling in the special coach reserved for women in Pune-Lonavla local trains continue to remain at the mercy of miscreants, drunkards and ticketless male passengers as security personnel and ticket examiners, who are supposed to monitor the coaches, remain out of sight.
Women passengers alleged that they often lose their valuables to thieves and even get harassed while travelling in the reserved coach. Due to the lack of personnel from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) or Government Railway Police (GRP), male passengers often board the coaches reserved for women and complete their journeys without any trouble.
