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.

Extremely delighted with the railway budget 2015 for being more passenger centric,and reforming the total railway system with its basic needs instead of randomly alloting new trains( which was done in the previous budgets).There are few points i would like to share which is extremely crucial. 1. Strict action against trespassers into the railway tracks. 2.minimal paper usage( e-tickets)Also i reqst railway to digitalize passenger list on each coach. 3.Please Install bio toilets at d EARLIEST.

agar hm reservation ticket ki booking system me id proof me only one proof me aadhar card or passport anivarya kar den aur train me ticket checking ke dauraan ek aisa system lagayen jo farzi aadhar card ko pta kr de turant aur reservation karne ke bad aur train departure se pehle us proof ka autometic jaanch ho aur galat milne pe ticket cancil ho jaye aur uski soochna sms se yatri ko mil jaye aur deposit money non refundble ho jaye jo railway ko pura mile.. Is system se hm ticket dalali 90% rok sakte hain.

disposable bed sheets and linen can be made using paper (thick 5 layers of tissue paper material) which can be recycled later.this would be lessen the cost of laundry and would benefit the paper industry. Sir, these are few ideas which we would wish to see. Only shatabdi and rajhdani shouldn't be the trains to be benefited from this every train should have it . Then only our railway system would be a swach system .Hope we contribute a bit towards making indian railway worldclass

5. small Pepper spray can also be kept in ladies compartments . Lady military personnels shlould be appointed in each compartment because i don't think cctv s would be suffice . 6.Long term goal: each train can be equiped with a scanner near the doors wherein the baggage would be scanned automatically while boarding the train apart from scanning at the station. 5,. nowdays cars are equipped with air balloons in order to protect from accident similar kind of technology can be used.

4. each train should be assisted with a doctor for emergencies which coporate hospitals and multinational drug companies can appoint pone doc for a train and minimum first aid facilities for the same .The payment for the doctor could be beared by the company ./They can advertise themselves as well . The trains can have a compartment for lesuire and enteraitment(which might include indoor games ,yoga etc)in case of long journey .

Timers like those on traffic signal showing countdown of train arrival time in seconds and siren should be installed when train actually arrives.
