Officials said micro-level monitoring played a crucial role in reducing casualties.
Large-scale awareness campaigns were also run around railway tracks, targeting nearby residents, labourers, shopkeepers, pedestrians and students. People crossing the tracks were stopped, counselled about the risks, and guided toward safer alternatives.
