Amid security concerns after recent explosive incidents in Delhi and Nowgam, major railway stations in West Bengal, including Howrah and Sealdah, are under stringent surveillance.

Barricades have been erected and vehicles are thoroughly vetted before parking, according to a senior police officer. RPF personnel scan passenger bags, and individuals deemed suspicious are questioned.

Increased RPF deployment is evident, with officers putting in extended hours for comprehensive surveillance. A high-level meeting, led by Kolkata Police Commissioner Manoj Verma, has reinforced security protocols. Hotel surveillance has also been amplified in the wake of these incidents.
