Prevent people from walking along rail tracks: Ghaziabad admin to police, public representatives

The Ghaziabad district administration has asked the police and administrative officials to prevent people from walking along tracks in view of the railways resuming passenger services with 15 pairs of trains on select routes from Tuesday.

All public representatives have also been advised to keep vigil on the railway tracks passing through their areas, District Magistrate Ajay Shankar Pandey said.

If they see movement of people near railway tracks, they have been asked to inform the police, he said.
