The station witnessed illicit activities and consumption of intoxicants, extensively analyzed by Additional Police Superintendent Narveer Singh Rathore.

Vigilance and inspections extended to two GRP police outposts, Kandaghat and Taksal, ensuring strict actions against encroachments around railway lines.

 Established as British India's summer capital, Shimla held strategic importance.

The railway policing scenario evolved with the inauguration of the Kalka-Shimla Railway in 1903, managed initially from Lahore and later transferred to Delhi Division in 1926.

The line, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, symbolizes both natural beauty and engineering marvels.

Construction of the 96.6-kilometer narrow-gauge track, featuring 103 tunnels, 800 bridges, and numerous bends, commenced in 1898, concluding in 1903.

Kalka-Shimla Railway remains an iconic journey, traversing lush hills and deodar forests, leaving an indelible mark on the world of railway engineering."
