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.

Railways should focus on ensuring Waste Bins with capacity are put into all the compartments and in between the journey outsourcing jobs are assigned for cleaning the bins. Most of trains dont have waste binsso people are forced to throw it on the tracks.

Even now it seems that there are corruption in the ticket booking wherein agents are involved this effects the common man. Idea should be to block and ensure faster processing of online transactions.

Respected Sir.. The first and foremost thing to stop accident is to strick fine/penalty and punishment should be there. Those persons still willing to try that must be given punishment like that 5000-10000 rupees fine and there vehicle must be submitted to govt officials atleast for a wear or more. Drivers licence should be banned for any vehicle driving at least for a month or more. This how somewhat very strick rules must be formed to decrease this accidents.

महोदय क्षमा प्रार्थना के साथ आप से यह पूंछना चाहता हूं कि क्या वास्तव में जनता के इन सुझावों कोई देखता है, पढ़ता है तथा माननीय प्रधानमंत्री तक ये पहुंचते हैं ओर उचित सुझावों को लागू किया जाता है ।या फिर ये जनता के लिए सिर्फ लालीपाप या झुनझुने की तरह है।

मानवरहित रेलवे क्रासिंग पर दुर्घटना रोकने हेतु स्थाई समाधान तो छोटी छोटी पुलियों का निर्माण ही है जोकि काफी खर्चीला एवं दीर्घकालिक है, इसका समाधान यह है कि मानव रहित फाटक पर ऐसी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक डिवाइस लगाई जाएँ जो गाड़ी के पांच कि. मी. दूर आते ही लाइट एवं तेज साउंड के साथ ब्लिंक करने लगें जिससे रात हो या दिन आनेजाने वाले लोग अलर्ट हो जावैंगे ओर गारंटी के साथ इन रोज रोज होंने वाली दुर्घटनाओं में निश्चित ही कमी आयेगी। धन्यवाद।

true that today everybody has less time to lose ...true that.it has still not been possible to man every railway level crossings in the country...but what i think is that above all people's mentality has to undergo a thorough change....they must learn to care for their own lives , be careful everytime they face an unmanned 'xing .....for the sake of those who depend upon their living.

सभी जानते है कि रेलवे का चक्का नियन्त्रक ही घुमाता है। रेलवे में सक्षम नियन्त्रक नही होने से रेलवे को भारी नुकसान उठाना पड़ रहा है। मै देखता हुँ कि इंजन 5 से 6 घंटे खड़ा रह जाता है और 4 से 5 हजार कि बिजली उर्जा का नुकसान हो जाता है। 5 से 6 घंटे तक क्रु भी उस इंजन में बैठता है जिसका वेतन भी एक दिन का 5 से 6 हजार होता है। इस कूप्रबंधन के कारण ग्राहक अपना समान उतरवाने के लिए लेवर का भी सही से प्रबंधन नही कर पाता है। अगर नियन्त्रक सही रुप से गाड़ीयों के परिचालन हेतु निर्णय ले तो रेलवे का भारी नुकसान
