Vashi GRP Uses Yamraj to Warn Against Railway Track Trespassing
The Vashi Government Railway Police (GRP) in Navi Mumbai had a special campaign to keep people safe around trains.
They had a police officer dressed as Yamraj, the god of death, to talk to people at the Vashi railway station.
Yamraj told everyone not to walk on the train tracks because it's very dangerous.
The police also made announcements and talked to people one by one to teach them about safety.
They told people to use the bridges and tunnels to cross the tracks instead of walking on them.
Many people liked the idea and promised to be more careful.
The police said they will keep doing these campaigns to help everyone stay safe.
Vashi GRP conducted an awareness campaign using a Yamraj character to warn against railway track trespassing.
The campaign was held at Vashi railway station between 9 am and 11 am.
The initiative aimed to reduce fatalities and serious injuries caused by trespassing on railway tracks.
Commuters were advised to use designated foot overbridges and subways instead of crossing tracks.
The campaign received a positive response, with commuters appreciating the initiative and pledging to follow safety rules.
