Passengers risking their lives by crossing the railway tracks instead of using the foot-over-bridges at the stations are a concern that paves way to accidents. Despite frequent announcements being made on the premises, people indulge in the act of crossing the railway tracks.
In a similar incident that was reported in media last month, a woman saw a narrow escape from a mishap at the same railway station (Hoshangabad). During then, it was the station master Deshraj Meena who saved the life of the woman.
