    Sad news indeed! I urge the local officials to build a railway over pass so people can get to other side of the tracks.

    It is unbelievable that mother, son and daughter were crushed to death under a moving train. It was their destiny and may their souls rest in eternal peace and give comfort to the bereaved family. It was their daily route but this time due to heavy rains they did not see the approaching train.

    Very sad News!!! I fail to understand why some people do what they feel like even after knowing the dangers associated with their actions. People should avoid crossing railway lines especially during heavy rains, because of poor visibility. It is better to prevent such disasters by being wise. I hope such incidents do not occur in future,this is a lesson to each one of us.People should refrain crossing railway lines as a short cut.People who have no choice, but to cross railway lines to reach their destination should be very careful and very alert while doing so.Government should also ensure good road facility near railway tracks to avoid such accidents which result in loss of precious lives.

    Such a incident should not have occured.It is really painful. The destiny is unknown. May thier souls rest in peace. Railway Dept. must fence the entire railway line. That is the only solution available to avoid loss of human life.
