Sir,
Accidents are increasing day by day in Mumbai, but the reason for accidents occurring in Bhayander is the violation of safety norms at the railway station.
It is always full of people crossing the railway tracks.
This is dangerous as a number of express trains move through this station with great speed. After the introduction of the two new tracks on the Borivali-Virar stretch more trains have been passing through this station.
As no prior announcements are made about the trains passing through the station those crossing the tracks are taken by surprise and killed. Every month four or five commuters have been losing their lives
Crossing railway tracks is an offence according to law. But the railway officials at Bhayander do not take any action against the persons breaking the law.
I would like to make the following suggestions to solve the problem:
a) Announcements should be made at regular intervals warning of strict action against those crossing tracks.
b) Notices giving the same warning should be posted on every platform.
c) Constables should be posted at both ends of the platform to prevent people from crossing tracks.
d) Commuters should be persuaded to use overbridges. They can be prosecuted when they are not amenable to persuasion.
e) Regular announcement should be made about the arrival of long distance trains so that commuters are kept out of the way.
f) Please reply me your Action to be taken within 7 Day’s
Early action in this regard would earn the goodwill of the public.
Thankyou. Yours sincerely,
Mukesh Pandey.
