Several users proposed potential safety enhancements in their comments:
"Consider implementing a safety feature where doors automatically lock upon reaching a specific speed," suggested one user, addressing Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Another user recommended, "Incorporate automatic closing doors across all trains, akin to metro or vande bharat, as a viable solution".
A different perspective was offered by a user who commented, "Enforce a limit on unreserved tickets or introduce additional general compartments".
Echoing concerns, a user stated, "The assumption that passengers choose to sit there is concerning. I urge the deployment of undercover officers in unreserved & non-AC compartments to assess challenges and devise potential remedies".
