“Apart from this, stringent measures have been undertaken by CMRL for the safety of women passengers, including 360-degree CCTV camera monitoring the all trains and stations, women-only toilets, customer care facility, zero tolerance for drunkards and trouble makers, deployment of security staff in all metro stations,” the statement said.
