Mumbai: Mobile app helps GRP identify 124 accident-prone spots along train tracks

The Mumbai Government Railway Police (GRP) has identified as many as 124 accident-prone spots under its jurisdiction using a mobile application. Collected over the last few months, the comprehensive digitised, evidence-based data with precise location of accidents will be submitted to the railway administration over the next few months along with suggestions on preventing such occurrences in the future. The identification of precise location marks a huge departure from the past when an accident spot was described as the area between two railway poles.

The jurisdiction of the Mumbai GRP starts from CSMT to Kasara and Khopoli on the Central Line, CSMT till Panvel on the Harbour Line, and from Churchgate to Dahanu on the Western Line.
