65 manned level crossings removed last year
The South Central Railway (SCR) has successfully eliminated all unmanned level crossings and removed 65 manned crossings in the past year. Officials are now focusing on replacing remaining manned crossings with bridges and subways to improve public safety.
Why it matters
Infrastructure improvements at railway crossings are vital for reducing accidents and improving the efficiency of public transportation networks.
SCR which has removed all the Unmanned Level Crossing (UMLCs) gates across its entire network in 2018 itself, has also eliminated 65 manned level crossings last year, including the erstwhile six divisions across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka.
The report is a straightforward summary of government infrastructure progress and safety initiatives.
