Help may soon be just a click of a button away for women travelling in ladies compartments on Central Railway (CR). The authorities have decided to equip the coaches reserved for women in all its trains with an emergency button. Other than that, every coach, general or reserved, will soon have a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera to keep watch on crowds, the railway authorities have said.

The security booster comes in the backdrop of the protests demanding women’s safety, sparked off by the brutal gang rape and death of a 23-year-old student in New Delhi.
