Inspector Chandana Sinha
Inspector Chandana Sinha is a Railway Protection Force (RPF) officer who has led the rescue of more than 1,500 children across Uttar Pradesh's railway network over the past three years. At 41, she is also the mother of an 11-year-old daughter. The key moment came in 2022 at New Delhi Railway Station during the chaos of Chhath Puja. Thousands of travellers filled the platforms when a frantic mother realised her three-year-old child was missing in the crowd. That moment changed everything for Chandan. Chandana led Operation "Nanhe Farishte", an Indian Railways' child protection initiative. Instead of relying only on routine patrols, she built a system. Officers were trained to identify subtle behavioural signals. Informer networks were developed with vendors, porters, and station staff. Partnerships were formed with NGOs and child-protection groups.
