    Really a very sad incident. I came to know about this yesterday evening when I was traveling from Mangaluru to Kasaragodu. I saw a crowd and lot of vehicles near Hosabettu, then a fellow passenger told about this tragedy. May their souls RIP and God give strength to the bereaved families on this hour of grief.

    Very tragic incident. Rest in peace. May Almighty give strength to their family to bear this loss.
    Authorities should at least open their eyes now & take necessary steps to built a foot bridge across the track as this is the place connecting people crossing from national Highway to its parallel local road & the railway station. More than 1000's cross this track each day & before its too late again,i hope to see the foot bridge.

    Here in Surathkal Railway Station there is only one Platform. On 20th January,2018 I went to Bangalore by Karwar Yashwantpura day express.
    It came on track & halted. I had to get down from platform, had to cross the tracks to climb up the train. IAM 63 years old. I saw from Hassan railway station to B,lore new stations are having multiple platforms. Why can not Konkan Railway build one more platform with overhead bridge.

    Unbelievable ! I have never heard of a situation where trains stops away from the platform and people have to get down from the platform to board it. Indian railway is still dark ages and Konkan railway seems to be even more backward than that. I recently saw a few railway crossings. They are just crossings with no safety. People have to cross at their own risk. Surprised how people survive there everyday.

    It is true that Surathkal Railway station on Konkan railway route presently has only one platform. Many times the trains halt at second track where there is no platform. It is very difficult and dangerous for elderly and also Women with children to board or alight from trains when there is no platform. Most of railway stations in Maharashtra on Konkan railway route have two platforms even though passenger traffic is less than Suratkal. I request Konkan railway Corporation Limited to provide second platform and foot over bridge at Surathkal. Also every railway station there must be foot over bridge for passengers who want to cross other side .
