Yamraj Campaign by Western Railways

The Western Railway last month had launched an awareness campaign wherein a man dressed up as Yamraj, the god of death, stopped people from illegally crossing unsupervised railway tracks and carried them back to safety. According to reports, the awareness campaign was carried out on the stations of  Malad and Andheri. These two stations are one of the busiest stations where people are often found crossing unmanned railway tracks to reach the other side of the platform to board the train of their choice.The Western Railway officials had asked a jawan from the RPF (Railway Police Force) to educate and raise awareness of the daily passengers about the danger they might be in if they cross the railway tracks.
