Following the Mumbra train-fall tragedy, the Bombay High Court proposed installing automatic doors on Mumbai’s suburban trains, stressing the urgent need to curb the rising number of commuter fatalities and enhance passenger safety on overcrowded locals.
The Supreme Court commended Indian Railways for implementing the ‘Kavach’ system to prevent accidents, acknowledging safety measures such as track improvements and staff training. The PIL seeking train protection systems was disposed of, and the Court expressed confidence in further modernization efforts. This recognizes the Railways’ commitment to enhancing safety.
