A wide gap between trains and Platform 2 at Indore railway station is creating a serious safety hazard, with commuters reporting near‑misses.
Indore railway station’s Platform 2 has a pronounced gap between the train doors and the boarding area, a condition that safety experts say can easily lead to accidents. Passengers waiting to board or alight have reported several near‑miss incidents where the gap caused loss of balance or forced them to step down onto the tracks.
Local commuters from the Singhasth area have lodged repeated complaints with railway authorities, highlighting the danger and urging immediate remedial work. Despite these reports, the Ratlam railway division has not yet implemented a technical fix, citing procedural delays.
Railway officials acknowledge the issue but have not provided a concrete timeline for corrective action. In the meantime, station staff are advising travelers to exercise extra caution while boarding and to use the handrails where available.
The unresolved gap continues to pose a risk to the thousands of daily passengers who use Indore station, prompting calls from civic groups for the railway to prioritize the safety upgrade.
