New Delhi. Many times while traveling by train, when passengers come to the alighting gate at the destination station, they see whether the train has crossed the platform or has already stopped. In such a situation, the biggest problem he faces is to get down, because due to the absence of a platform, he has to get down by hanging. In such situations you do not need to worry. TT will deboard you safely from the train. This is his responsibility. Know what the railway manual says in this regard?
There are about 7000 platforms in the country. Some of these platforms are small and old. Earlier they were made according to small trains. But now trains run longer i.e. 20 to 24 coaches. Although Indian Railways is mostly repairing or lengthening such platforms, work is going on on many. Trains arrive on these platforms only under the same circumstances, when other platforms of the station are full. In such a situation, the passengers say that the train has passed ahead or stopped earlier. The real thing is that the passengers do not know that the platform on which the train arrived Yes, he is small.
They were doing this work secretly in the bathroom of the train, when TT knocked and opened the gate, they were surprised to see the scene inside.
Indian Railways has made rules related to this in the railway manual for the convenience of passengers. According to this, the train stops on a small platform, which is outside the coach platform, the TT has to help the passengers alighting from it. So that they can land safely.
When you travel in these trains, you will see open surroundings above and waterfalls below, it feels like an open train, know where the operations are taking place.
If the train reaches such a station at night, it has to be taken down by showing torches. Next time you travel by train and your coach is outside the platform, you can ask the TT for help in getting down and if they are reluctant, you can immediately complain on number 139.
