Maligaon, December 30 (MExN): The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) is taking various steps aiming towards preventing cattle collisions on railway tracks. In one such measure, NFR has taken an innovative initiative involving local communities.
In Yeabra village, located in the district of Dima Hasao, Assam, near railway km no. 72, between Daotuhaja and Wadrengdisa stations under Lumding Division, the zone with the help of local villagers have successfully fenced both sides of the railway track with bamboo barricades. This commendable effort is the result of sustained awareness programs and meetings conducted by the Railway Protection Force (RPF), led by IPF team of NFR and the enthusiasm of the local communities who voluntarily undertook the task of fencing at their own cost.
NFR calls upon other villages along its network to emulate this model of cooperation to enhance the safety and efficiency of train operations, stated a press release issued by Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer, NFR.
