Title: Need to construct manned railway crossings in Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Parliamentary Constituency, Haryana-laid.
SHRIMATI SHRUTI CHOUDHRY (BHIWANI-MAHENDRAGARH): The unmanned Railway crossings on various rail sections under Bhiwani junction have become virtual death traps. On 18 January, 2010, seven persons of my constituency were killed at unmanned Railway crossing near Gothya station in Jhumpa village under Tosham Sub-Division of Bhiwani. The incident occurred when a family while crossing the unmanned crossing in a jeep collided with Sadulpur-Hisar passenger train. Seven persons of the family were killed on the spot while four others sustained serious injuries. Such incidents are very frequent and deserved to be viewed seriously and requires immediate action on the part of the Ministry of Railways.
As such, I request the Hon’ble Minister of Railways to pass on instructions to the authority concerned for the immediate release of compensation to the victims of this accident and for the construction of manned Railway crossings at the following points. (i) near Gothya station in Topsham, (ii) village Barwa on way to Rupana (iii) village/town Siwani Mandi near Mansha Devi temple;
(iv) village Gandawas in the west of the village between Siwani Mandi and Gandawasi ; (v) village Motipura in the west of the village (vi) village Jhumpa Kalan and Khurd, both in the west of the village.
