Nearly 50,000 people have lost their lives between 2015-2018 on railway tracks after being hit by trains, said a report by news agency PTI. A total of 49,790 deaths were reported between 2015-2017. Deaths on railway tracks occur due to trespassing, violating safety and cautionary instructions, avoiding over bridges, using mobile phones and other electronic gadgets while crossing railway tracks and other reasons.

Railways have taken corrective measures like regular announcements through passenger address system at stations urging passengers to use foot over bridges (FOBs), awareness drives against trespassing were conducted, construction of boundary walls, warning signs were erected to prevent accidental deaths on railway tracks. However, people still cross railway tracks for saving time, cutting on commuting time and other reasons.
