How to improve railway security.....?

India got the world's fourth largest railway network. (1. United States, 2.Russia, 3.China).It carry 20 million of passengers and 2 million tonnes of freight per day.It is world's largest job providing industry having more than 1.6 million of employees.
Isn't it sound so good to you..? And it must be.. But do you know there are still some points that makes Indian railway system as world's unsecured railway system. Indian railway has more than 64000 km of track and more than 6000 station. As we know India is facing lot of problems related to railway security system. Within last 3 months we heard about more than 4 accidents and lost more than 500 life.Now my question is to Ministry of India that "where are we lagging..?"
There must be some problem in security system.
I was thinking about this topic from last 2-3 months and got some excellent point regarding security system.
We shoud divide the railway security system in three ways:
1. Running train security:- I saw some guards around me when I was traveling in train from Bhopal to Chennai.There was only 4-5 guard having shotgun. I think it is not sufficient for 20 coaches of a train. So we should increase the number of guards not only guard well trained guard with modern arms.


2.Track security:-The second important thing is to maintain the 64000km of track without damage. We should increase the number of check point and routine check of tracks. GPS system should be installed in the engines to track the proper location of the train. So accidents occurs due to collision can be avoided.



3 Station security:-More number of CCTV should be install. No buddy should enter in the station w/o platform tickets, It will not only improve the security but also improve the economic rate of IR. People can carry anything inside the station and its so dangerous for human life.
