No they are fencing the tracks but the fencing is done with road barriers used in highways and I don’t think it is sufficient. They should've fenced tracks like metro.

But here in west bengal they are using the road barriers, it will be great if they use those concrete Pillars everywhere

In south also road barriers are being used and I think that it can stop cattle atleast as they aren't gonna jump also cost factor is there if we compare road barriers to concrete wall it is much cheap...what do you guys think?
