In response to the growing trend of dangerous social media stunts near railway stations and on moving trains, the Railway Board has decided to take strict action. Recent videos of individuals performing risky maneuvers on railway tracks, often filming themselves with mobile phones, have raised serious safety concerns. These actions are not only putting the lives of these individuals at risk but also jeopardizing the safety of passengers traveling on trains.
The Railway Board has directed all zonal authorities to register cases against individuals involved in such activities. This move comes after numerous disturbing videos surfaced, showing people engaging in reckless stunts on tracks, dangerously close to speeding trains, or even placing objects on the tracks for the sake of viral content. Some individuals have tragically lost their lives while attempting such dangerous feats.
A senior official from the Railway Board highlighted that these reckless stunts, often motivated by social media fame, are compromising railway safety. In some incidents, people have come perilously close to moving trains, taking selfies and not fully realizing the danger. The official emphasized that the consequences of such actions are not limited to personal injury but extend to the potential threat to hundreds of passengers aboard trains.
In light of these incidents, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Government Railway Police (GRP) have been instructed to adopt a no-nonsense approach in dealing with those violating railway safety rules. The Railway Board has made it clear that anyone caught engaging in these dangerous activities will face strict legal consequences.
This move aims to curb the growing menace of people endangering themselves and others in their pursuit of social media stardom. The Railway Board is committed to ensuring the safety of train operations and the well-being of passengers across the country.
