Odisha: Khurda Road Division raises concern over rising level crossing gate violations

Bhubaneswar, Oct 9 (UNI) The Khurda Road Division of East Coast Railway has expressed serious concern over the increasing incidents of Level Crossing (LC) gate violations and damage caused by road vehicles, which are disrupting train operations and causing delays across the division.
Officials said road users frequently attempt to cross level crossings even after the gates are closed or while they are being lowered, leading to damage to boom barriers, signal failures, and serious safety risks. Such reckless behavior, they warned, endangers lives and property while affecting train punctuality and smooth operations.
During 2024, the division recorded 113 cases of LC gate breaking, resulting in the arrest of 92 persons. Up to October 8, 2024, 88 incidents were reported with 72 arrests, while in 2025 (up to October 8), 64 cases have already been registered and 47 offenders arrested.
