‘Foot Overbridges Are Built’: Netizens React
The incident has once again sparked debate online over people crossing railway tracks instead of using foot overbridges at stations.
While several users praised the woman’s instinct to protect the children, others questioned why passengers continue risking lives by crossing tracks despite repeated railway warnings.
One wrote, “Foot overbridges are built for a reason. Saving 2 minutes by crossing tracks is never worth risking your life. But at the same time, railways also need stricter fencing and better crowd management because this keeps happening again and again.”
Second said, “Why do people think their lives are worth risking it?”
Third commented, “No one can match a mother.”
Another stated, "This is not saving lives... Who asked her to put her kids' lives in danger crossing the railway track.. what stupid people..”
The viral incident has once again highlighted how dangerous railway track crossings can be, especially at busy stations where many passengers avoid using foot overbridges to save time.
Railway authorities have repeatedly appealed to passengers to use designated crossings and bridges, warning that crossing tracks remains one of the biggest causes of accidents on railway premises.
