Please do not tresspass and stop other passengers from doing so. The deep impact of runovers on the mental health of motormen is reason enough not to indulge in this practice.
The letter from Laxman, reproduced below indicates the myriad feelings experienced by aghast onlookers.
Nobody deserves to undergo the trauma of watching another human die for no good reason, certainly not the motormen!!

This is one stupid thing people do, cross the tracks when FOB’s are
present. It happens every day at Necklace Road in the morning when the
Falknuma hyderabad local arrives and people crazily go and stand near
the platform edge and to cross over to the other side, the line has
many movements at that time and the crossing point is on a blind curve
where trains come in at 50 kmph plus. When will people realize how
dangerous it is to do this, do we need a few run overs for people to
get some sense. I have seen it happen at Hitech city as well. Please
educate people when you travel in MMTS Trains about this danger of
line crossing. Sad part is even ladies do it quite often even the
educated lot.

Yes we see atleast once incident daily on accidents on tracks.People are not learning inspite of so many accidents.
Railways should start penalising those violating this in stations atleast.
Railways should paste more pamphlets to discourage people crossing tracks
I have seen in Hitec station right infront of main entrance someone had put white washed brick path for people to cross the tracks
How can rlys allow this if they are serious in controlling accidents.
In begumpet people cross the tracks with luggage including rly porters
There are people mock at others who take FOB and they ask cab drivers to drop at other end of Hitec stn instead near the FOB side.
