A recent Right to Information (RTI) inquiry filed by activist Samir Zaveri brought to light the deaths and injuries caused because of people crossing the railway lines in 2023. According to the obtained data, in 2023, 1277 individuals lost their lives while attempting to cross the railway line, and 241 individuals sustained injuries.

“I obtained the data, and it suggested that there is not much difference in deaths due to crossing the line. The fencing is terrible, and the crowd has increased; I suspect these are the main reasons behind the shocking figures,” said RTI activist Samir Zaveri.
