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.

Provide Solar Powered Local LED Displays Units with pneumatic hooters depicting a flashing line in the local language indicating that a train is approaching. Can be done not just at unmanned crossing but at all the crossings. Manned crossings are closed 15-20 minutes in advance causing traffic hold ups. With the suggested method above we can solve the issue of traffic hold-up, maintenance & upkeep cost of manned crossings. But there will still be some extra intelligent people nobody can help

Capability of mobile telephony should be used to trigger alarm & display at the ULCs to alert people. Innovative design of level crossing gates can operate the gates automatically as the train approaches one.In the display a tentative time for passing of the train may be given by designing a look-up-table as the train passes by.

of retail price,whether Govt. control the same by any way. Remember the six years time of Respected previous P.M.MR A.B.Bajpayee Ji.He has done good in all sphere,but after that BJP lost the power n shining India slogan did not have any meaning. In your 8 month rule,neither dearness of essential commodities in respect of retail price has come down nor any reduction of corruption n Red-tappism in bureaucracy even in the states where there is BJP Govt. I,therefore most humbly n respectfully

Railway ko us jagah par jaha basti ho aur railway line samip ho waha par taro ka ghera laga dena chahiye jisase ki chaah ke bhi log use paar kar naa sake aur durghanaa se bachaa ja sake aur railway satation se bhi ek kilometer tak yah ghera hona chahiye kiyoki log satation me usi jagah se ander jaaye jaaha railway ne jagah de rakhi ho. Note. jese ki delhi metro ground par chaliti he to usake bagal me diware khali he. dhanyavad
