The GRP are on the lookout for a few more students who were part of the gang..
A senior official of Southern Railway said they have been taking strict action against such kinds of behaviour from students even as GRP officials have been conducting awareness programmes in various colleges to curb footboard travelling in suburban trains . It would be helpful if commuters could come forward to take videos of such incidents and send it to us for taking corrective actions, the official added.
