The women-led initiative Pink Patrol: Eyes in the Sky, SHAKTI on the Ground was showcased by which zone of Indian Railways?

  1. A.Northern Railway
  2. B.South Central Railway
  3. C.Central Railway
  4. D.Western Railway

Correct answer

B. South Central Railway

Explanation

The correct answer is South Central Railway. Its Pink Patrol initiative, with the tagline Eyes in the Sky, SHAKTI on the Ground, is a women-led model that combines drone-assisted surveillance with rapid-response teams working under the SHAKTI framework. Option A, Northern Railway, is wrong, although its Delhi Division did present something else at the same conference, namely its crowd-management arrangements for Diwali and Chhath in coordination with the Delhi Police, the GRP and the Delhi Metro authorities. Option C, Central Railway, is wrong for a similar reason: it presented Project DISHA, the Dedicated Initiative for Safety, Harmony and Awareness, run by its Pune Division for children living near railway tracks. Option D, Western Railway, is wrong because no initiative of that zone was placed before the conference. Questions of this kind reward candidates who tie each named initiative to the zone or division that runs it rather than remembering the names alone.
