Sealdah Station to Install 7 New Subways to Stop Trespassing

Sealdah station, one of the busiest in Kolkata, will install seven new subways to curb the growing problem of trespassing on railway tracks. The move comes after a spike in track‑related fatalities in the city, prompting the Indian Railways to focus on safety at key junctions. The new subways will provide safe, dedicated access for commuters, reducing the need to cross tracks illegally. Officials say the installation will be completed by the end of the year, with additional safety measures such as fencing and surveillance cameras to be added. The project is part of a broader initiative to improve safety across major stations in West Bengal.
