The railways will ensure that the Vijaywada railway station is child-friendly with the help of railway personnel and the locals, said G. Suman, Additional Divisional Railway Manager, Vijayawada Division.
As part of the ‘Childline Se Dosti’ week celebrations here, the railways, with the help of police and organisations such as the police and Forum For Child Rights, Childline 1098 Vijayawada and SKCV Children’s Trust, aims at transforming the railway station into an atmosphere more conducive for children.
