CORAS (Commandos for Railway Security), a highly trained force equipped with advanced weaponry and bulletproof jackets, was established in 2019 under the RPF to respond swiftly to emerging security threats on trains or in sensitive areas along the railway network. “They—CORAS Commandos have been trained rigorously in a way that they could tam down any kind of high risk act of crimes onboard or terrorist acts on railway”, said a railway source.According to railway sources, each of the 8 coaches of the Vande Bharat train, designed with special ice-cutting systems, central heating, and other features tailored to the climatic conditions of Jammu and Kashmir, has two CORAS commandos deployed between Katra and Srinagar. “They (CORAS Commandos) are so swift and alert that even a bird with ill intention cannot enter the coach without being spotted and neutralised by them”, remarked an RPF official.
