Indian Railways — Indian Railways Continuous honking by trains in residential area (Between KR Puram-Whitefield), Whitefield, Bangalore

Dear sir, with all due respect and humble submission, I want to bring it to your kind notice, I stay in the apartment called Prestige Shantiniketan, ITPL Main Road, Whitefield, Bangalore. There are 3000 family livening in my community and over 10, 000 adjacent to ours. For the last few years, we have been having sleepless nights as well as getting disturbed in day time due to unnecessary honking by trains (between KR Puram-Whitefield line) all the time, even if they are just waiting for signals to become green. The train drivers keep honking until they don’t get green signal (feels like they are waking up other side people to make the signal green), sometime 10-15 mins continuously and due to high db level of sound our children wakeup shocked and start crying. This honking practice is increasing day by day and need some immediate attention. Few people have made the complains on railway website or personally but unfortunately there is no resolution.

On behalf of all the families, I would request you to convey the information to the concerned parties to make some process and also pass the familiarity to the respected drivers.

-Best Regards
