The programme is being conducted at CISF's Training Cell Kavach, which functions under the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation unit of the force. The current batch consists of 40 personnel, including one officer at the rank of Commandant. NCRTC has sought training for nearly 240 UP SSF personnel, which will be covered in multiple batches over the coming period.
The training primarily focuses on the handling and interpretation of X-ray baggage inspection systems, along with familiarisation with other security equipment used at stations and entry points. Personnel are also being trained in standard operating procedures relevant to passenger movement, access control and threat response in a high-footfall transit environment.
CISF has been associated with the security of several urban transport systems, including the Delhi Metro and major airports, and its Kavach unit has earlier conducted similar programmes for metro and rapid rail projects across the country. The involvement of CISF in training UP SSF personnel is intended to ensure uniform security practices and coordination once deployment begins on the corridor.
The Namo Bharat corridor is India's first semi-high-speed regional rapid transit system and is expected to play a key role in improving connectivity within the National Capital Region. Given its scale and daily commuter volumes, authorities have placed emphasis on early security preparedness alongside operational readiness.
