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.

2 solutions . Provide sensors 500 meters on either side to activate sound alarm at gate.Problem. How to distinguish coming and leaving rake? 2: Provide large mirrors reflecting rail line. Approaching train can be seen. or use radar to track and give sound alarm. Or use solar powered gate opening getting signals as described above. Or provide gates that car driver get out and operate which will close automatically in say 30 sec.

Armed with the new Land Acquisition Ordinance let Indian Railways acquire 300-ft of land on either side of existing rail tracks running interstate. Such newly acquired land be used for "Make In India." Lease such land to entrepreneurs to make Railway Fixtures, anything GOI or Indian Defense forces need in every State bringing labor to work there from crowded metros every day. Pay market compensation to farmers who give land for "Make in India". This is Win Win for IR & Make in India for India!

when these kind of topics are discussed in debates and group discussions , people generally say "This is INDIA " . this is not governments responsibility -that people are getting killed , people should also be aware and precautious of these things.

Sir i would say that this is very unfortunate in our country that there are only rules written in the books somewhere but some of them or i would say most out of them are not followed ever and behind this there is only one reason which is that a normal people never knows that what are the rules only the person who made the rule knows them.There should be a system who can remeber the people that this is wrong and if u will even do this that will effect ur comfort.And technology has made thisposs

आज देश के 80% रेलवे स्टेशन पर खारा पानी मिलता है। और बोतल बंद पानी धड़ल्ले से 20 रूपये लीटर में बिक रहा है। मेरा मानना है की करोड़ो रूपये की लागत से बने रेलवे स्टेशन पर क्या 3-4 लाख रूपये और लगाकर 30-40 RO water फिल्टर नहीं लगाये जा सकते। आप कह सकते है की इनका maintenence महंगा हो जायेगा तो मेरा तर्क है की क्या इन RO के पास में दान पात्र रखा जा सकता है। मुझे पूरा विशवास है की मेरे भारत वर्ष की दानवीर जनता 1-2 रूपये करके daily इतना पैसा तो डाल ही देगी की जितने से इन RO का daily maintenence हो सके।
