Deplorable Conditions of Signalling and Telecommunication Workers of the Indian Railways
S&T workers are often sent out for maintenance, repair work or patrolling alone owing to a shortage of staff. This puts these workers at high risk. Working alone under stressful conditions while using heavy equipment can result in workers missing signs of an incoming train. This has resulted in multiple run over incidents over the years.
