This station has become a pivot of liquor smuggling, where liquor is openly sold. Recently, a closet of illegal fireworks was found, which raises questions about the safety arrangements. Passengers hesitate to complain. Local people claim increased security. Communication Assistant, Dumraon (Buxar). The Dumraon Railway Station is now a victim of a completely weak system in terms of security. The responsibility of the security of the station rests only on the shoulders of one home watch that is forced to perform 24-hour duty. Remove ad Read only News This station has now become the most important pivot of liquor smuggling, where not only illegal drinks are dropped off the trains, but the collection of liquor sellers in the neighborhood also remains fearless on the platform. Local people claim that liquor is openly sold on the platform and that people of criminal character are camping at the station. Recently, two days ago, a major consignment of illegal fireworks was caught in a home near the ticket desk, exposing the negligent safety arrangements of the station. Despite the criminal activities that take place every day, travelers must make the effort to go to Buxar to submit a complaint, through which people stay away from complaints. During the movement of trains, the activity of bakkies and thieves increases at the station, which allows an atmosphere of fear to remain among the passengers all the time. Earlier, there was a sub-inspector and four police staff deployed with the GRP post at the Dumraon Railway Station, where small complaints were immediately registered, but now one or two RPF constables are only present for the sake of fulfillment. Despite the stopping of dozens of trains every day and the movement of thousands of passengers, this negligence in safety arrangements remains a cause of deep resentment among the locals. Especially during the election time, this indifference of the administration can invite a major incident. Local people and passengers demand from the administration to strengthen the safety arrangements at the station, allowing liquor smuggling and crime together and passengers can get a safe environment. It is said that the GRP police station in the past was Grp post at the Dumraon train station. It is not known when this post ended. Right now, one home watch for safety was deployed in Dumraon. However, efforts are being made to ensure that the security system always remains strong. Constant monitoring is done from Buxar. -Brijendra Kumar, Grp -Police Station, Buxar
