Railways to eliminate unmanned crossing by 2020: Lohani
After a school van-train collision at an unmanned level crossing left 13 students dead in Uttar Pradesh, Railway Board Chairman Ashwani Lohani said all such crossings will be eliminated by March 31, 2020. Asserting that the primary responsibility lies with road users, Lohani added, "Railways cannot take any step that is completely foolproof against negligence."
