Total disregard for self safety is the true cause for these accidents. What can explain people crossing tracks when train is likely pass them or talking on mobile phone while walking in between the tracks. Extensive education process should be initiated near and in the railway stations. Potential areas where people are likely to talk on the mobile and walk should also be having these message boards. Penalty by the RPF for crossing the tracks will deter people from doing so

Every railway station should have RO plant where folks can take drinking charge by paying 3-5 rs per liter. Empty bottles can be provided with extra charge or folks can bring their own water bottel. it save a lot of cleaning of railways station as half of wastage is of Empty Water bottle. Small step and big impact on Clean India vision

Dear Sir, double line between gaya and kiul is very much needed because of the difficulties faced by passengers. A small journey of about 150 km takes more than 5 hours or more. In today's scenario ,when we talk of bullet trains it is very important to notice that some important routes don't even have double lines

Duoble line between Mangalore Junction and Mangalore Central is very much required. People of costal karnataka are well connected with other states through railways, but not connected to many cities in our own state : Karnataka. Even Bangalore to Mangalore train is taking lot of time & no of trains also very less

Auctioning of Advertisement spaces across various railway stations, Goods trains and other available feasible places which will generate alternative revenues to the Indian railways.

Dear Sir, Due to present system of recruitment in Railways any one from India can apply for any post. This system not giving chance to resident of the place where recruitment to be done. Government can make at least 80% recruitment from local region / state where recruitment to be done in Railway this will help to solve many problems of local residents. Please think on new recruitment policy in railway.
