6K of 15K Railways Deaths Per Yr On Mumbai Suburban Tracks
These views are of researchers only
October01, 2017 (C) Ravinder Singh progressindia2015@gmail.com
Sant ji when we have ‘Dullards’ leading an organization & Nation weird things happen i.e. CAG findings are nothing new & instead of addressing the problems – most weird like BHC directing Railways to build Trauma Centers and Deploy Ambulances at all Stations which are ‘To Cost More Than FOB & Fencing of Tracks’ – Not Preventing Deaths on Rail Tracks.
This happens in every sector of economy.
2.3.1 Medical Care for Accident VictimsHon’ble Bombay High Court directed Railway administration to take preventive measures to check death of passengers on tracks. It further directed (November 2014) CR and WR to make available ambulances at all Mumbai stations – also directed (November 2014) the Railway administration to set up Emergency Medical Rooms at all suburban Stations, similar to “Trauma Care Centre” already set up at Dadar (CR) in March 2011.
15,000 Deaths On India Railway Network – 6000 in Mumbai alone
2.3 Death of passengers in suburban train services
Indian Railways in its Citizen’s Charter made a commitment to provide safe and dependable train services to passengers. The report submitted (February 2012) to the Minister of Railways stated that out of the 15000 deaths every year on the Railway system, about 6000 deaths are on Mumbai suburban system only. Such large numbers of deaths were mainly attributed to unlawful trespassing. The report further stated that trespassing takes place mainly on account of –
n Lack of barricading, fencing, inadequate pedestrian over bridges & reluctance to replace pedestrian level crossings with foot over bridges.
Average Suburban Fare Rs.4:80 Per Trip – No City Funding
The suburban passengers comprise an average 72.86 % of the total 3054 crore passengers carried during the five year period from 2010-11 to 2014-15 by the Indian Railways which are handled by 578 suburban stations. However, the earnings from suburban train services during the same period were Rs.10,567 cr, constituting 14.11 % of the total passenger earnings (Rs.74,868 cr) in the seven Zonal Railways.
Under Reporting Deaths 154 for 7923
In its Annual Statistical Statement, ER reported 154 deaths during 2010-14. However, GRP reported 7923 deaths during the period 2010 to 2013 in two Divisions (Sealdah and Howrah) of the ER. This shows a mismatch on reporting of deaths by Railway administration to the Railway Board concerning safety issues.
Only 14 of 922 Suburban Level Crossings Closed 2009-15
Vision 2020 document of Indian Railways (December 2009) had observed that nearly 70 per cent of the fatalities in Railway mishaps took place at unmanned level crossings and therefore, envisaged elimination of Unmanned Level Crossings by March 2015. Scrutiny of records, however, revealed that during the review period 2010-15,out of 922 Level Crossings as on 31/03/2010 on the suburban sections of six Zonal Railways, 908 Level Crossings were not closed.
81 Adarsh Suburban Stns 8 have Escalators, 26 Ramps & No Lift
