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.

It can be resolved by automatically bumped, which should controlled by nearest station master it should close the road before seven to eight minutes when train reaching there.

Sir, This problem can be sorted out by these methods. 01. Provide Automatic SIRON / Red lamp ON switch 1/2 KM before un named level crossing, so that it makes sound when the engine wheel press the switch and should off once the train passes with Timer setting. 02. Same system can be used to close the gate/lever with slow movement with SIRON. will open once the Train passes. 03. Humps / Speed breakers with Radium stripes/Stickers for visibality in the night near this is must.

Require more looking to passenger safety. RPF department require more develop & attention for that, because every day luggage lifting happened in every station. Especially for Bhubaneswar station my experience is very bad. Please look in the matter.

Drinking water business at Indian Railways is blooming at monopoly rates.Rs 10 bottles are sold at Rs 20/-ruthlessly where as manufacturing cost below Rs 5/-.A poor passenger get drinking water from taps at station. Water treatment plants by private vendors may be permitted at reasonable & cheap rate for all passengers so that this Gentle Pick pocketing can be come to an end. Now 2 ltr bottles will not be available in any station for selling of 1 ltr bottle at 17/- price.

accidental liability of passing vehicle at unmanned crossing will help solving the issue and generate funds to provide gates etc. in unmanned crossing it is 90% mistake of the vehicle crossing and not of train/driver. hence the vehicle owner should be financially punished for railway loss too. such stricter rule will force people to double check before crossing.
