[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Excessive time taken at railway crossing

At Railway Crossing in Kalka to Shimla narrow gauge route, the first crossing at Kalka near Railway workshop and another crossing at Taksaal railway station, I am continously observing that the time taken is often more than 15 minutes and some times even more than 25 minutes. Many people struggle a great deal while going to their offices, schools or to Railway station and miss the trains also. In case of emergencies also it is a very time spending affair. It is also a great wastage of time and petrol and man hours.
I have seen in some aRailways advertisements that a level crossing takes only maximum 5 minutes. I fail to understand that why the specified norms can not be complied in this age of technology.
I seek your intervention so that this problem, which leads to many troubles and great loss of national resoureces can be sorted out amicably.

Thanks
Raj Kumar

Hello Sir,

My name is Sunil Vaghela. I am leaving at a place called "Golibar no Tekro", which is hardly 1 km away from the Mehmedabad railway station, Dist-kheda, Gujarat. In my village , we are having around 1500 people leaving together. Here, I am going to describe you a one of the oldest problem, which has been facing by us since 90s era.

Mehmedabad city is devided in two parts by railway tracks, where one is main town and other one is village. We people are leaving in village, which resides in other part of railway tracks. There is one "railway crossing" between the road of village to town. Now, the main problem is, since the creation of railway crossing, it always remains close. We need to bend our cycles/bike to pass through the crossing. And for other heavy vehicles, we must need to go through by another road/underbridge, which is total headache. There are two underbridges, which connects my village to town, but both are always in very watery/dusty conditions. In monsoon, we cannot able to pass through any of those underbridges - we remains totally disconnected from town in the days of heavy rain. Children cannot be able to go to school in monsoon.
We did many complaints in Mahemdabad municipality but they are not responding well.They are keep answering stupidly, everytime we raise this issue. In every election, the people do voting on basis of who will fix this problem, but since many years this issue is not being resolved yet.

Our main concern is that, why that crossing remain always close? Why Mehmedabad railway staff doesn't doing any action to solve this issue? Nowadays, many villages of india are becoming smart villages. But, I am disappointed everytime whenever I see people of my village facing problem due to that railway crossing.

Sir, we don't want to see our village as a smart village, but if you help us to resolve this issue, we are so happy and will appreciate your afforts.

if you want any further information on this, or want to see a live example of what we are facing in our daily life, or want to meet my villagers to know more about this problem, please contact me on [protected].

Regards,
Sunil Vaghela
