Uttarayan Kite Safety Near DFCCIL Tracks

Vadodara, before you fly that kite this Uttarayan, you need to hear this.

Those DFCCIL tracks carry 25,000 volts of electricity. One kite string touching those overhead

wires and it's over. I've seen people risk their lives running across tracks for a ten rupee

kite. That's not bravery, that's suicide. These aren't regular trains.

DFCCIL freight trains are faster, quieter, and deadlier than you think.

Use the foot over bridge every single time. Keep your kids on the terrace,

not near the tracks. Metal coated manjha conducts electricity instantly. Trespassing is also

punishable under the Railway Act. This festival should bring joy to Vadodara, not tragedy.
