Section 161 of Railway act indicates “If any person driving or leading a vehicle is negligent in crossing an unmanned level crossing, he shall be punishable with imprisonment which may extend to one year.”

Section 131 of the Motor Vehicle Act indicates that “Every driver of a motor vehicle at the approach of any unguarded railway level crossing shall cause the vehicle to stop and the driver of the vehicle shall cause the conductor or cleaner or attendant or any other person in the vehicle to walk up to the level crossing and ensure that no train or trolley is approaching from either side and then pilot the motor vehicle across such level crossing, and where no conductor or cleaner or attendant or any other person is available in the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle shall get down from the vehicle himself to ensure that no train or trolley is approaching from either side before the railway track is crossed”

However due to non-following of relevant rules by the road users, many accidents are occurring resulting in loss of precious life  at unmanned level crossings.

Suggest solutions for reducing accidents at unmanned level crossings.

Sir, The way Traffic police intercepter see from one kilometers away from there stand that concept should be used in Train Engine's that before one kilometers they can see on 10 inch screen day or night that the track is free to move forward or having some people or any other kind of problem.

Dear Sir, I was considering an idea to raise funds for Railway Development and Expansion. We can have a railway specific fund raising web portal, this portal will be same as a bank website, any one can register with his PAN number, email ,mobile & bank account. Here he can deposit any amount from INR 1000 to 10000 every year, he will get tax rebate of 50% of amount deposited and his complete amount will be returned withing 5 years of time span by Railway without any interest.

Subject-Cash Less Railway Reservation Without Broker Intervention With JAN-DHAN YOJNA: Hi Sir, Just want to share one idea, If possible please plan for cash less Railway reservation where Debit/Credit card swipe machine would be available on railway counter and for any reservation, card owner name should be match with one passenger, who will travel in same PNR. It will help to change Passenger mindset about railway who are facing broker problem as well it will help to grow JAN-DHAN YOJNA also.

I would suggest for Unmannned crossing : 1. Proper visible (illuminated) sinage at visible height in commonly used language. Must be readable 24 Hrs. 2. Proper lights & other arrangement to be ensured at such crossings.

I believe that 4 months advance booking is not really a good idea, since with the kind of rush railway witnesses the tickets will be sold out 2 months in advance and the length of waiting list would be gigantic then! Apart from this decision, the railway budget is a master-plan drafted by Suresh Prabhu. Hats off to you !!! Please ensure that all these facilities are properly implemented before announcing next budget.

Booking before 4 months is not a good idea. This will increase overhead on ticket cancellation. Planning journey 4 month prior is very much uncertain due to several reason. So please Rail Minister, if you can, please make it 2 month. I don't what is your logic behind 4 month but it is not in fever of people of India.

I feel Indian railways should get help from international organization & collate ideas from developed countries seek corporate help in building a better railways. I was travelling in Malaysia from KL airport to city(70km) with the kind of infrastructure they have built with low cost of travel I feel such ideas should be grasped &executed by the government,there are millions of corporate who are ready to AID help in development.

Mr Rail Ministerji do u plan ur journey 4 months before. Gud idea to collect money before & use for rail. Rubbish idea it was introduced earlier also but failed. Rather than abolish the brokery system u r asking people to be Q up for 4 months in stead of 2 months. Can we not sell our reserved tickets through bank, PO, shopping malls. Getting a confirmed ticket is more important than to be que 4 or 40 months before. Please make sure to availability of berth not to collect & use money for 4 months

since the railways require funds for various on going projects it would be better to accept deposits at an intrest rate of around 8 to 10 many would be willing to deposit hope the govt considers this seriously
