Description
Railway Security Manual by S.K. Dubey is a comprehensive manual dealing with myriad facets of Railway Security. Indian Railways is the lifeline of the country carrying over 23 million passengers and 3 million tonnes of freight every day. Importance of Railway Security is evident from the fact that the organisation handles such volume of passengers and freight in trains and railway stations. The author with his vast experience in security aspects of Indian Railways has compiled this manual in view of the fact that no comprehensive and up to date manual is available for readers in this area.

1.   Railways Act, 1989 discussed including the Railways (Amendment) Act, 2008.
2.   Latest compilation of the Railway Protection Force Act, 1957; Railway Protection Force
      Rules, 1987 including the Railway Protection Force (Amendment) Rules, 2013.
3.   Chapters of Railway Protection Force Regulations, 1966 revived through Directive 1
      of Railway Board are included.
4.   Includes Railway Claims Tribunal Act, 1987 and Railway Claims Tribunal
      (Procedure) Rules, 1989.
5.   Includes Railway Property (Unlawful Possession) Act, 1966 including procedure for
      enquiry under this Act.
6.    Includes Police Act and relevant sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
7.    Includes legislation on inquiry into railway accidents.
8.    Contains useful Appendices dealing with security aspects of Indian Railways.
