"At present, the percentage of lady constables in RPF is 2.25 percent. The number (of women constables) is less in the entire Railways. Keeping this in mind, the prime minister gave a direction for recruitment," Goyal said during the Question Hour in the Upper House.

As a result, the government is recruiting 9,000 more. "We are focusing on hiring lady constables. We are going to recruit 4,500 lady constables, 50 percent of the total vacant posts notified," he added.

Responding to a query if the Centre will consider 35 percent reservation for women in government jobs in line with the one given by the Bihar government, the minister said, "No such reservation has been decided at the central level. So there is no question of the backlog."

Law and order is a state subject. RPF looks into the protection of railways infrastructure, while the Government Railway Police (GRP) takes care of law and order and it is under the state government, he said.

Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi said the recruitment process is going on. "Adequate lady constables are recruited by our government. Already adequate lady constables are there," he said.

To another supplementary question on providing walkie talkie to women constables, both Goyal and Angadi said the matter will be examined.

Railway Minister Goyal, in a written reply, said the recruitment process started in 2018. Out of 8619 and 1120 vacancies notified for constables and sub-inspectors, respectively, 4216 and 201 vacancies, respectively, were reserved for women.
