55% of 2017 rly deaths because of monitor crossing

“We need more than 3 foot overbridges (FoBs) in line with platform and most escalators so commuters don't seem to be tempted to hop throughout tracks. Deploying more uniformed team of workers, developing better infrastructure and building boundary partitions during the railway community are the only solutions,” stated an activist.
