 Section 147 of Railway act prescribes that:-

Provided that in the absence of special and adequate reasons to the contrary to be mentioned in the judgment of the court, such punishment shall not be less than a fine of five hundred rupees.

2. Any person referred to in sub-section(1) may be removed from the railway by any railway servant or by any other person whom such railway servant may call to his aid.

THE CURRENT 'ROB'S OR 'RUB'S ARE TEDIOUS FOR PASSENGERS ESPECIALLY SENIOR CITIZENS, PREGNANT WOMEN, BP/HEART/ASTHMA/ARTHRITIS PATIENT AND PASSENGERS CARRYING LUGGAGE. SO THERE SHOULD BE ACCELERATORS TO FACILITATE STEP-UP/STEP-UP THE 'FOB'S OR 'FUB'S AT LEAST AT HEAVY RAIL TRAFFIC ROOTS.

there should be elecronic wires palanted close to the railway lines.not close th the platform but close to the railway track.So the fear of getting shock from these wires will certainly scare people of trace passing.

In place of over bridge, the subways should be given more priority. The people find it difficult to move from one platform to another due to high over bridges, whereas the subways need not be very deep underground. They can be more easy and can also be made wide enough to manage more crowd, no of accidents will be zero, at the station atleast.

The door design of train need to be changed to sliding ones. Also it should be made compulsory to close the doors before a train leaves. This will dramatically reduce the no of accidents. This will be the first step towards a high speed safe train.

HONORABLE SIR, "THIS IS REFERRING TO ACCIDENTAL DEATHS ON EXITING FROM BOGGY" Many accidents end in death on alighting from a moving train. The top step underneath the door does not have enough space to rest the feet of an person. While stepping out with the tension and plight from a moving train easily looses the grip and slip down to between boggy and platform results in major accident. This can be rectified to a certain extend by providing enough width to top step backward.

If there is a change in the platform for arrival or departure of trains sufficient notice/announcement should be made and also informing the passengers not to hurry but use normal allowed route to reach the train for boarding.Sudden change of platform causes lot of hardship to passengers

We should have more underbridges for pedestrian crossing as it requires lesser climbing of stairs compared to footbridges. Especially on the platforms, we can have underbridges as there is no issue of water-logging etc and these can be easily managed.

systems similar to Air break should be introduced in trains to avoid derailing.if a sudden break happens bogies derails so that is needed . solar panels should be used in trains to produce electric power and can use that power to run fans kitchen lights etc......
