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.

Lets start by no only eliminatin payments to nxt of kin to those killed in these accidents but actually levying huge fines to those who stray across the tracks. The railways i.e. Govt i.e taxpayer should not be made to pay for the stupidity and irresponsible behavior of a few people. Also consider placing RPF personnel at certain high level crossings with orders to shoot at sight anyon crossing the tracks. Hey, those guys are going to die anyway, why cause damage to a train in the process??

Contd. comments here of 01st instant. In JALANDHAR, even at the Manned Railway Level Crossing, majority of people are tempted to cross the Crossing while 'Phatak' is closed, indicative of a coming train. This way such people, remaining quite obvilious of the danger to their own life as well as to the life of their accompanying
near and dear ones, commit an act unworthy of a responsible citizen. SUCH AN ACT CAN'T BE HELD NECESSARY WHATSOEVER REASONS MAY BE ADVANCED BY SO DOERS. BAD WAY.

1. Building Railway overbridges is the permanent solution, more so where heavy vehicular movement is noticed
2. Automated Unmanned Level Crossing System needs to be installed immediately.
3. Special patrol vehicles, with specific radius, for this purpose and overall security be deployed
3.NGO's, Gram panchayats be actively involved in spreading awareness / management.
4. Offenders be strictly punished, their names displayed in public domain
