Stating that Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee also was very keen to enhance the security measures of the Indian Railway system, he said it was planned to introduce Integrated Security Scheme (ISS) in all the Indian Railway stations for which the railway stations had been divided into three categories.
Under first category, ISS would be introduced at important railway stations in the four metropolitan cities besides cities like Bangalore and Hyderabad.
In category two, the ISS would be introduced at important railway stations in tier two cities and remaining railway stations would be covered under ISS in third category, he added.

The works under ISS had already commenced by ordering the equipment like Luggage Scanner, Bomb Detection
