suburban trains. The court stressed the responsibility of the Railways to save lives, warning that senior officials could be held accountable for the deplorable conditions. Advocate Suresh Kumar representing the Western Railway, responded by outlining safety measures taken, including barricades, foot-over-bridges, and high train frequency. The court, however, emphasized the need for practical solutions to the issue, acknowledging the high passenger volume and outdated infrastructure. The PIL noted a significant number of deaths and injuries on the tracks, with 2,590 fatalities in 2023. The court requested affidavits from the general managers of Central and Western Railways outlining steps taken to improve passenger safety. The hearing will resume after eight weeks.

crossing se hone wali maut ko rokne mein kaise fail ho rahe hain, aur suburban trains mein kitni zyada maut ho rahi hai, yeh bataya. Court ne railways ki zimmedari ko highlight kiya ki woh lives ko save kare, aur yeh bhi warning diya ki senior officials ko Mumbai local ki kharab condition ke liye zimmedar thahraaya ja sakta hai. Western Railway ki taraf se Advocate Suresh Kumar ne jawab diya ki woh safety measures le rahe hain, jaise ki barricades, foot-over-bridges, aur train ki high frequency. Lekin court ne practical solutions ki zarurat pe zor diya, yeh accept kiya ki passengers ki tadad bahut zyada hai aur infrastructure purana hai. PIL ne tracks pe hone wali maut aur injuries ki bada tadad batayi, 2023 mein 2,590 log maare gaye. Court ne Central aur Western Railways ke general managers se affidavits maangi hai ki woh passenger safety ko improve karne ke liye kya kadam uthaye hain. Court 8 hafte baad is PIL pe fir se sunwayi karega.
