Daltonganj, June 6: Daltonganj railway officials led by Station Superintendent Umesh Kumar today held an awareness drive at the Kachehry railway level crossing.
The awareness drive starting at 9.45 am today ended after one hour. It was a live awareness drive as during this period a long haul of the goods train and one passenger train passed through.
Again, the Kachehry railway level crossing is the busiest one in the municipal corporation limit here.
Tips on how to negotiate railway level crossing
Umesh Kumar said we distributed leaflets on how to negotiate the railway level crossing.
It is to see both sides looking for any sign of the train if coming as if there is a sign of the train coming then there is no room for any adventurism.

Umesh Kumar said we told the youngsters there not to cross railway lines using blue tooth and earbuds. Blue teeth and earbuds finish life and life once gone, does not come anymore.
He said there are over-smart drivers of tractors, cars and buses who believe that they can overspeed the train and try to cross unauthorised levels where they meet with the worst of the accident. Cases are registered and mutilated vehicles are seized by the railways.
Be careful to live longer
Property is lost and lives are in danger. Umesh Kumar said he has asked people not to act rashly at the unauthorised level. Be careful to live longer, he reminded.
A pedestrian or a biker must respect the rules of railway-level crossing. No pedestrian or biker or any outsider has any right to argue with the gateman. No railway gateman is to be pressured to lift the boom. It is seen that the railway gateman is abused and threatened by the civilians.
Umesh Kumar said this is most unacceptable. Let everyone respect the railway line and life, he added.
