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.

Indian railways should earn revenue from advertisement on train out side & inside display. it will give benefit more than ticket price.

श्रीमान प्रधान मंत्री जी, नमस्कार, मेरा निवेदन यह है की आपके MP को अपने काम का ब्यौरा ऑनलाइन डालना चाहिए, की उसने अपने गांव में कितना विकास किया है, जिसको उन्होंने गोद लिया है, श्रीमान मैं शाहदरा में रहता हूँ, और मेरे MP का नाम श्रीमान मनोज तिवारी जी है, जब से उन्होंने चुनाव जीता है वो कभी भी हमारे एरिया में नहीं आये है..... हाँ टेलीविज़न में प्रोग्राम host करते हुए जरूर नज़र आ जाते है.

1,to make journey easier for common man railway should add more general bogies in express trains. 2.no cash transactions to be collected by TTEs,they can carry swipe machines to collect defined charges from users cash card /ATM card ,which can be purchased and topped up at any railway stations.these cards should also be used to purchase tickets. 3.to stop ticket less travels ,tickets should be checked at the entry gates,those who came to see off must carry PF tickets to get entry.

1.At unmanned crossings, it is all on people's intelligence. 2.Spread awareness and stiff warning to people by advertising stories of those who had lost lives on these crossings on tv. Driver to be careful। & to blow regular & loud horns as well as control speed at the foresight of a crossing.3. Try to make underpasses at crossings which are commuted much by people. 4.Solar power run tubelights to be installed for nights (ensuring there proper maintenance).Generate hatred against this practice.
