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.

Kindly Make some strong decision for tickets booking of tatkal scheme for Aam Aadmi,Bcoz first basic need of the people is regarding ticket booking.First thing if the online tatkal booking it always (mostly/99.999%) times shows tickets in waiting only.Pls make such a system so that we got confirmed ticket bcoz if we book 30 days before then also it shows tickets in waiting list.Bcoz it is very silly thing that book tickets 2 month before.Bcoz nobody knows the Plans of travelling before 2 month

We have 4th largest network of world but at the same time we are slowest in world. in last 65 years our avg speed of railway has just moved from 45 to 54km/ per hour which is too low. pls increase Average speed of Trains in India. Pls increase it to 70 KM/per hour which will increase the time availability for other new trains and distance will be covered in reduce time at the same it does not required any additional investment on infrastructure. it will save manpower hour, energy, time etc.

This is sheer negligence of people who neither care for their life nor others .I know there is budget limitation for doing gated manned crossing.I have seen in the northern western railways ,they are making under bridge at railway crossing ,in my veiw it is just wastage of money , as these under bridege in mansoon seoson will hinder the trasportation through them .Also it s cost is too high .In this cost three jobs can be given ,and they can manage it very carefully.it is just suggestion

we can use electric turbines on train .which can generate enough energy for lights and fans in railway. we can make future trains in india by using solar power panel on the top of the train and use battery to store the extra energy generated by the sun for the working of train in night these all reduce the cost and consuption of energy in indian railway. thank you

Dustbins must be kept in the all the railway compartments, in all the trains and should be cleaned regularly..

here is no connectity of Train between Saurashtra (Rajkot) and Kutch (Bhuj - Mandvi). A long time ago there was a train started but been cancelled because of their timings railway was not getting passangers.Trian timings were not useful for Business man and Travellers.
I would suggest to run the train in Night from Bhuj/Mandvi to Rajkot and Rajko to Bhuj/Mandvi - Gujarat.
