RTI Query reveals Spike in death from falling off trains

RTI Query reveals Spike in death from falling off trains

Mumbai: Even as railway officials claim to be operating maximum suburban trains to ease the hardships of daily commuters in Mumbai, the number of deaths and those injured after falling from trains has gone up in the last one decade, as per an RTI query.

A whopping 25,722 passengers fell from suburban trains (travelling on Western, Central and Harbour suburban services in Mumbai Commissionerate) in last 10 years, of whom 6,989 commuters died while 18,733 survived, said RTI activist Anis Khan quoting a reply received from Government Railway Police (GRP), Mumbai. Despite the authorities’ efforts to curb deaths on tracks, the city’s railway system continues to claim lives at a constant rate. As per data with the Government Railway Police (GRP), nine people have died on the railway tracks every day this year.

In 2005, a total of 494 commuters lost their lives after falling from running trains. This figure went up subsequently in the coming years and reached up to 901 in 2013, up 82 per cent as compared to the death toll in 2005, he said. However, 2014 saw a marginal decline with 797 deaths reported after falling from suburban trains, he said.

Kalyan, Kurla, Thane, Borivli, and Vasai are the railway stations, which have recorded the most fatalities near them. These people were found dead after falling from a train, committing suicide, or having been pushed by someone.

Mr Khan said the railway administration has “completely failed” to provide safe and comfortable journey to the people. “The basic reason why people are dying like animals is that railway officers have entirely failed to comprehend the hardships of the commuters…and the basic reason behind this (inability to comprehend the problems) is that officers never travel in local trains,” he said. Most of the passengers fall or slip from the running trains when they struggle to get into a coach and fail to enter it or get dashed against a pole near the railway tracks, he said. “Until and unless officers do not feel the pinch of travelling in overcrowded local trains, such deaths are not going to stop,” Mr Khan said.

As per the statistics provided under the RTI query, apart from 6,989 passengers who died after falling from trains, 22,289 passengers succumbed while crossing the tracks (trespassing). A railway officer, on condition of anonymity, said, “This is true that number of cases of falling of passengers has gone up, but it also includes those cases when many people lost their lives while performing stunts.” “But sensing the gravity of the cases, constant announcements are made not to board or alight from running trains,” he added.

Railway activist Sameer Zaveri, who was also a railway victim once, said overcrowding is the biggest problem at hand. “People buy tickets but still have to stand on footboards. There are no safety measures for them. Moreover the High Court has asked the railways to build fences near the tracks to prevent people from entering, but the railways don’t do anything,” he said.

Around 30 per cent of victims’ bodies have to be disposed of by the cops; the families approach much later or the bodies remain unclaimed,” said Rupali Ambure, deputy commissioner of police, GRP, Central Railway. She further added, “We have been creating awareness among commuters to not cross tracks, not travel on footboards, and to take precautions while travelling. We have also written to railways to close all unauthorised entry points that bring one to railway tracks,” said Ambure. 1,679 people were injured this year on the railway tracks.

Chennai groups drum home point to stop train hits in the City

Should you happen to come upon a band playing music at a railway station, don’t look around for cameras. A film crew hasn’t turned the station into a set: it’s a live show that the Government Railway Police hopes will create the awareness needed to put the brakes on train accidents.

Officers of the GRP hit upon the idea after a study they conducted on railway tracks in city and suburbs showed that at least 35 people died in such accidents on a single stretch, between Beach and Chengalpet, in a month.

Train hits accounted for many as 2,750 deaths across the state in a year. The study also helped the GRP officers identify 20 accident prone spots, including at Korukkupet, Perambur, Avadi, Ambattur and Mambalam, where the most deaths took place.

When distribution of fliers to spread awareness did not appear to have yielded any results, the officers tied up with bands who agreed to play small shows on railway platforms to draw train users together as groups.

“The bands penned songs that include safety tips and set them to some peppy music from popular film tracks to attract the attention of train passengers,” Egmore DSP V Ponramu said. “The lyric makes it clear that it is illegal to cross railway tracks by any means.”

The bands have pulled in crowds at Mambalam, Guindy, Egmore and Chennai Central, he said, with people taking a short break to hear them despite being in a hurry. “So I would think the message is getting across,” the DSP said.

The GRP have also identified places where commuters cross tracks and erected new walls to prevent them from doing so. “We have posted two policemen at each of these locations,” a senior GRP officer said. “They will work in two shifts of eight hours each .”

The efforts of the GRP officers seem to be paying off. Regular train users report that there has been a sharp decline in the number of people they see crossing railway tracks in the city.

Heavy Rain Badly Hit Mumbai train commuters

Mumbai: Nearly 75 lakh commuters who use Mumbai’s local trains each day were badly hit as heavy overnight rain in Mumbai and its suburbs threw rail services out of gear.

Commuters reported water logging at many places such as Kurla, Tilak Nagar, Chembur, Vidya Vihar and Matunga train services were suspended on Central Railway’s main line between Mumbai CST and Thane, and between Mumbai CST and Mankhurd on the harbour line.

On the Western Railway, the overflowing Dharawi Nallah resulted in water logging at Matunga Road station, suspending suburban services between Andheri and Churchgate.

“Long distance trains are going only up to Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and not to Mumbai CST and Dadar,” tweeted Narendra Patil, Chief Public Relations Officer Central Railway.

Most offices reported thin attendance with people staying home. The Railways issued an advisory that commuters travel only in case of emergency. Meanwhile, a high tide hit the city at 2 p.m.

CIDCO plans to extend proposed Mumbai Metro service to Kalyan, Ulhasnagar

CIDCO plans to extend proposed Mumbai Metro service to Kalyan, Ulhasnagar

Mumbai:  CIDCO plans to expand the proposed Belapur-Khandeshwar metro service up to Kalyan and Ulhasnagar to improve connectivity between these suburbs and Navi Mumbai.

“We are on track to complete Phase I of the first 23.4-km CBD Belapur-to-Khandeshwar metro project. We now plan to extend the line to Kalyan and Ulhasnagar to improve the connectivity between these three suburbs,” CIDCO Chairman Pramod Hindurao told reporters in Navi Mumbai on Monday.

CIDCO is developing the metro project in three stages, comprising the 11.1-km Belapur-Pendhar section, the 8.35-km Khandeshwar-Taloja section and the 2-km Taloja-Pendhar interconnection corridor.

The construction work on the first phase of the line is expected to be completed by 2016, Hindu rao said.

“The work on the first phase will be completed by 2016. Out of the Rs.2,800 crore approved for the project, works worth Rs.2,200 crore have already been completed. The remaining Rs.500 crore worth of works will be soon completed,” he said.

The Belapur-Pendhar corridor missed the original deadline of 2014 as CIDCO decided to increase the width of the coaches so as to align with Mumbai Metro. For this change in plan, CIDCO gave time to its rolling stock vendor Ansaldo to rework the coaches, from the earlier planned width of 2.9 meters to 3.2 meters.
