Hyderabad sources reported that the stations are partially equipped with the same, having baggage scanners, body scanners and metal detectors but to fulfill all requirements of ISS, the stations need to undergo some changes, like redesigning their entry and exit points in accordance with footfall.
Meanwhile one can enter Secunderabad railway station from over six different points and ISS check is there at only the two main entrances. Furthermore the remaining entrances will now have to be closed while the main entrances are guarded with high end technology. Reportedly ISS is not strictly implemented at the station now, as passengers can often be seen escaping checks.
Moreover according to railway officials, a detailed station security plan is being prepared, taking into consideration various entry and exit points at a station. Further entry points that enable trespassing would be closed through boundary walls and other entrances would be managed through collapsible barriers and sealed gates. Hence random check of passengers and scanning of their luggage is done keeping in view footfall at that particular station.
