This is my question
to every Mumbaikar, as we all know that death ratio in rail accidents are
increasing day by day and it is our lifeline.
From past four years (2009-2012) 10,413 people died and 12,227 suffered
from injuries due to rail accidents.
It is true that
people die due to trace passing, performing stunts while the train is running,
travelling on roof top of local trains, etc. is their foolishness but still
rail government can control this ratio by taking necessary steps such as
installation of unbreakable fence on railway side which will lower the risk of
trace passing. Travelling on footboard is an offence but due to rush in trains
during peak hours every third individual travels on foot board as he/she does
not have any other option but government can work on platforms which are small
in length which will help in increasing the frequency of 15 car trains and
lower the ratio of death caused due to falling from running train. They should
also remove steps which are there behind those bogies having pantograph as this
is the only option for passenger to get on rooftop.
On the other side I
can say that everyone of us should note that only blaming the government is not
the only way. We are the one who are responsible of our own lives, so don’t run
from your responsibility and be responsible for consequences of action you
perform.
