In what could be termed as a success in controlling trespassing to a minuscule extent, the Central Railway on Thursday said that it had been successful in curbing line crossing or trespassing deaths at Dadar station with no new cases reported after February 15 this year. The railways, as a policy measure, have taken up anti-trespassing measures and is on a spree of building bridges with escalators and lifts to discourage line crossing.
"It is a continuous battle and we have been working on it. For example, in the past six months, boundary wall gaps have been closed at more than 100 locations. A new boundary wall of approximately 13km has been constructed in last one year alone and we have undertaken more than 7,000 campaigns to create awareness against trespassing in last one year, fining over 7,000 commuters for track crossing. It is significant to note that there have been no trespassing related deaths at Dadar station since February 15," Central Railway's chief public relations officer Sunil Udasi said.
