As part of their night job, RPF officers were inspecting each carriage on the train as it prepared to leave Gorakhpur. They were walking past a toilet when they heard an odd sound coming from within. The RPF jawans were intrigued when they came to the restroom and saw that the door was fastened from the inside. There was no answer when I knocked. When they finally got the door open after many tries, they were startled to see two kids confined inside.
 
Only that someone had brought them there was all the knowledge the kids could give about their relatives. Officials from the RPF and Railway were promptly informed of their discovery, and the appropriate action was taken.

Operation Nanhe Farishte, the indian Railways' child rescue initiative, demonstrates the company's strong commitment to child protection. Through station and train inspections, RPF personnel hope to recover kidnapped children. The district Child Welfare Committee then receives the discovered youngsters.
 
According to North Eastern Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Pankaj Kumar Singh, the RPF was able to successfully rescue 644 frightened children from North Eastern Railway stations and trains between april and october 2024.
 
Operation 'Nanhe Farishte' has played a crucial role in saving many children. 368 children were saved on the North Eastern Railway in 2023–2024. By october 2024, 433 boys and 211 girls had been rescued, bringing the total to 644.
 
These children include those who are homeless, mentally ill, runaways, missing, separated, impoverished, and kidnapped. kid helpdesks are accessible at important North Eastern train stations to further assist with kid protection.
