SCR has over 1,000 manned level crossings to eliminate

South Central Railway (SCR) currently has 1,166 manned level crossings. This after eliminating 80 in 2022-23 and seven so far this year with the construction of Road Under Bridges (RuBs), Road Over Bridges (RoBs) and Limited Height Subways (LHS) under its jurisdiction.

An SCR spokesperson, in a press release on Wednesday, claimed that SCR was working towards eliminating manned level crossings on a mission mode. This was being done through RoBs/RuBs and LHS.

A campaign to sensitise road users to safe behaviour in and around level crossings was also being taken up by organising special checks and street plays. This was in accordance with the International Union of Railways’ decision to observe International Level Crossing Awareness Day on June 15.
