Eastern Railway Cracks Down on Track Trespassing for Reels

Eastern Railway is taking action against people who walk on railway tracks to make social-media reels.

Some creators go close to moving trains, which can be extremely dangerous.

From May through July 2026, railway security registered hundreds of criminal cases and arrested hundreds of people.

Thousands of other cases resulted in fines or penalties.

Officials said trains cannot usually stop quickly after a driver sees someone on the tracks.

Railway tracks are meant only for trains, not for walking, taking shortcuts or making videos.

Eastern Railway has built bridges and crossings for people to use safely.

Officials are asking everyone to behave responsibly and avoid risking their lives for a video.
