Railway Crossing Violators Beware: 'Third Eye' Surveillance Activated in Lucknow Division

• Indian Railways has installed high-tech CCTV cameras at two non-interlocked level crossing gates near Siddharthnagar station under the Lucknow Division.
• The cameras, activated on January 9 and 12, cover both booms and the lever lock, providing live feed to the Siddharthnagar Station Master via optical fiber cable.
• This initiative aims to prevent forced gate openings, gate breaking, and other unauthorized activities that pose accident risks, especially at non-interlocked gates.
• CCTV footage will identify individuals who forcibly open gates or break barriers, leading to strict legal action against them.
• The surveillance will also help detect gateman negligence, suspicious activities, ensure safe train movement, and relieve pressure on gatemen.
