Gates were built for passenger traffic while there is also a pedestrian bridge near the station. Many in a hurry go directly to crossing the tracks instead of using these alternatives.

Most accidents in Bahadurgarh area happen near Chhoturam Nagar.
So far this year, the train tracks have been stained red with the blood of 29 people. 22 of them died accidentally and the remaining seven committed suicide. Two women were also involved. In 2022, a total of 102 people died on the railway line. Between January and April last year, 30 people died on the route. Most of the dead are under 40 and the number of migrants is high.
