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.

आज जे.ई के रुप मे काम कर रहा हूँ। 8 वर्षो के कार्यकाल मे बहुत सारे सही गलत अनुभवो से रुबरु हुआ जो आज शेयर करना चाहता हूँ। जैसे एक बच्चा जन्म के समय एकदम निर्दोष और इमानदार होता है और बडा होने के साथ अपने को परिवेश के अनुसार ढाल लेता है उसी तरह सरकारी तंत्रो मे आने वाले नये कर्मचारी इमानदारी से कुछ करना चाहते हैं लकिन जो कमीशन तथा घूसखोरी का महौल पहले से बना हैं उसे भी अपने मे ढाल लेता है। मतलब कि भ्रष्टाचार के मुद्धे इतनी मिली भगत है कि कोई अगर अगर ईमानदारी की बात करे it is 2nd of 3 cont posts

आदरणीय तथा माननीय प्रधानमंत्री जी, नमस्कार, मैंने कई बार आप कि मन की बात सुनी और पढी, उससे प्रभावित होकर आज मै अपने मन की बात करना चाहता हू। मै बचपन मे महान व्यक्तियो के बारे मे पढता था तथा सिनेमा मे नायक को बुराई से लडता देख दिल मे ईच्छा होती थी मै भी देश के लिय कुछ करु। चुंकि हमारा गांव सेना छावनी के नजदीक था, तो मेरे दिल मे हुआ कि सेना मे भर्ती होके देश की करु, कोशिश भी की, लकिन मेडीकल मे मामुली कारणो से फेल हो गया और फिर काफी उठा-पटक के बाद भारतीय रेलवे मे भर्ती हुआ। continued on next post

Dear Sir, We definitely have designed some rules like section 161 and section 131, but they are not properly executed. Please find below some suggestion which might help us in reducing accidents: - Installation of bollard electronic door in the unmanned railway crossing. - They should be monitored with CCTV. - Anyone found violating the rules should be fined strictly. - Volunteers can be selected to create awareness among the people.

This should be done on priority basis. Every year we loose so many lives due to unmanned level crossings in our country. Its a shame for all of us that in spite of so many accidents we still have a large number of such crossings in our country. We have a sensible and hardworking railway minister now in our country. I am sure he must do some thing very strong to eliminate this problem from Indian railway. Flyovers on all such crossing must be done on priority basis in the country. All the best.

Request....Request.... It is very helpful for the people if the train type 'MAIL EXP' gives the stop in the stations like all the MAIL Express are, because some trains are not giving the stop in the stations even after the submission of request letters. Example... Train number 16518 and 16215 are both MAIL Exp type, but the 16518 has limited stops. please consider this as soon as possible, because it is very helpful to the people who travels daily.

Our country has much surplus & unutitized / under utilized human power. Let it be effectively utilized for efficient delivery of tickets at the Ticket windows selling current tickets , besises electronic systems. One need to deeply study the existing system where it takes more than 30-60 minutes in obtaining a current ticket at the Ticket window, especially at metro stations / busy stations.

Dear sir , Level crossing accident is bad symbol for railway administration . We can minimize upto Zero by doing some basic ideas . (1) In some sections level crossing are 2 to 3 in one kilometre . It should be less then one in one km . (2) Trees and brushes should Cut and clear timely , so that people and rider easily see the track . (3) All level crossing should mandatery manned . (4) Sensor and other audio-visual devices should be fitted on each crossing . LOCO PILOT LKO NR
