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.

The accidents at unmanned level crossing can be prevented by elevating the railway track from the ground or their a protective barrier should be facilitated.

**MISC.** Contd. From Previous Posts on NGOs. Again, the previously stated Affidavit of the Central Government before the Apex Court puts the figure of the NGOs. at around 22 Lakhs. The details of the NGOs alongwith the details of amount received by them from the State and/or Central Government; and the stated aims and objectives are not in public domain. BUT THE VERY FACT THAT 90% OF ABOUT 22 LAKHS NGOs DO NOT FILE RETURNS SPEAKS VOLUMES OF THE WAY THE NGOs ARE FUNCTIONING. UNACCEPTABLE.

**MISC."...Contd. From Posts of 15th, 16th, 17th &18th January on NGOs. "GOVT. FUNDS TO NGOs." For decades now, NGOs are almost inseparable part of the State / Government machnery, in the sense that hundreds of crores of Rupees are funded to the NGOs from public exchequre, without any accountibility in 90% cases -- as per Affidavit of the Central Government itself before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. ONE STANDS AGHAST WITH THIS FACT COMMING OUT IN FORM OF AN AFFIDAVIT BEFORE THE APEX COURT.
