Rubina Akter, a final-year student of social work department at Jagannath University had lost her legs after a locomotive ran her over at the same place (marked by the arrow) on Sunday. It happened after she felt dizzy while crossing the lines and fell on them. However, people seem to have taken no lesson from the incident as they keep on doing the same, ignoring the risks. This photographer saw at least 200 such people who walked on the lines to change platforms in an hour from 12:30pm yesterday. Photo: Rashed Shumon/File
