What do the official records say about safety?

The North Central Railway’s Prayagraj Division conducted a special drive from January 1 to June 21, 2026. During this period, action was taken against 973 people for crossing tracks across the entire division. Out of all major stations, Hathras Junction had the lowest number with only one such case reported.

What are the rules regarding track crossing?

PRO Amit Kumar Singh stated that crossing tracks, walking on them, or using unauthorized paths to change platforms is considered trespassing. Under the Railway Act, this is a punishable offense that can lead to fines.
