Kodaikanal Road Station

Recently I had to take a train from Kodaikanal Road station at around 1130 at night. We reached the station around 8 pm. The crowd at the station was very thin and by the time it was 10 pm the whole station was deserted. There was literally no one except me and my wife and a couple of staff including the station master.  It was a scene straight out of a horror movie. Then we changed platforms and found at the far end a couple of guys chatting with a eunuch in between. It was all very suggestive.  The waiting room at platform No.1 had toilets which didn't have water.
I feel it's a huge security risk when anyone could enter the station and commit acts of crime including plant some stuff like explosives.
At such stations and especially at odd hours there must be regular patrolling by Railway police.
We found one Railway Police post unmanned.
