Trespassing control project bids finalized

MUMBAI: Preliminary work for the trespassing control project at 12 suburban stations is expected to begin in May.

Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has also finalized bids for the project that are expected to bring down accidents due to crossing of tracks.

A MRVC official said, "The project includes, installation of escalators, elevators, building of new foot over bridges."

He further said, "Our aim is to ensure that the work begins two to three months before monsoon so that there is enough time on hand to take up crucial civil work. We want to finish the work on the project by May 2015."

MRVC has appointed Sir JJ School of Architecture as consultants to study issue of trespassing and suggest remedial measures. The official said, "The consultants identified trespassing prone areas and the reasons on the basis of accident data and field visits. The consultant has claimed that the trespassing related accidents will come down by 75 to 80 per cent if the measures suggested are adopted."

A total of 26 escalators, 12 FOBS, 8 elevators will come up across the selected stations. The official said, "Green patches will be developed in between tracks or the end of the platforms.

These will have heavily branches plants, thus creating barriers to prevent trespass."

The study suggested redesigning of stations so that commuters can disperse fast.

For example at Dadar, it was suggested that three entry and exit gates should be provided on west side. The official further said, "There will inter- connection of FOBS so that people can access the preferred entry and exit points from any end of the station. Moreover, ramps will also be provided at many stations so that it becomes easier for physically handicap people to access the stations."
