Picture and status of Platforms after Inauguration of New Platform at Allahabad Junction (Ald)
Just as I clicked, those pictures, 7 rpf personnel (3 in Pic also), who were present on the Platform 6 out of 50 rpf personnel who are doing duty in every shift of 4 hours at all platforms of Ald Station came and surrounded me and started interrogating me and told me to delete photos/videos and not to do again.
I kept on telling them that as My pictures are not for commercial profit purpose or for harming the...
more... security aspect of the station/railways and also I am not having professional camera/ recorders, and I am not harming or disturbing any passenger or railways in its run. Also, I am in possession of valid platform ticket and I can proof my genuine ID if you or any Rail authority ask. So as anyone fulfilling above conditions, can click photo/ video for non commercial purpose by railway board letter (also present on IndiaRailInfo FAQ), I have not done any wrong thing.
After long argument, they told, "You may be right, but we are not aware of these rules and we are just following orders of senior officer and the scenario is not normal but put on high alert, so even if the letter you are quoting may be right, it can't be permitted in high alert scenario like of kumbh due to possibility of security threats"
Finally they agreed not to delete the photos but not to click more pictures further.
