MUMBAI : The Bombay High Court on Thursday directed the Railways to proceed with raising the height of platforms to 900/920 mm on the suburban lines in Mumbai after considering all relevant factors.
A division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice M S Sanklecha heard a suo motu PIL after taking cognizance of accidents of commuters Monika More and Tanvir Sheikh who lost their lost limbs after falling into gaps between the trains and platforms.
The judges took note of the report submitted by the expert committee set up it to look to recommend optimum platform height to reduce the gap of platforms with footboards of trains to avoid accidents.
The committee suggested that optimum height of platforms under the present conditions should be 900 mm and should not go exceed 920 mm as it may result in mishap.
The judges, in their order, also said the committee must be ``proactive'', find ``innovative solutions'' and consider all suggestions and find solutions to make commuter travel smoother and safer.
They directed the action plan of the railways to be submitted by April 17 and posted the next hearing on April 30.
