Nationwide data shows a significant decline in level crossing accidents, but certain states continue to face high risk levels.
FACTLY reports a marked reduction in level crossing accidents across India, indicating improved safety measures at railway crossings.
Despite the overall decline, the agency highlights that a handful of states still report higher-than-average accident rates, suggesting uneven implementation of safety protocols.
Authorities are urged to focus on these high‑risk areas with targeted interventions, such as better signage, fencing, and public awareness campaigns.
The report underscores the importance of sustained vigilance and investment in rail infrastructure to maintain the downward trend in accidents.
