In mumbai there are around 3100 people dying due to train mishaps every year and almost same getting injured every year, however there are roughly 2.5billion people travelling the trains every year,
Does it mean it is unsage to trave in trains in India? Not really, it is just that the volume is so high and personal safety is not that high on the agenda
Similarly In Delhi the crime against women rate seems to be high, perhaps it goes back to the fact that NCR folks(I am sterotyping but there is overwhelming evidence to back that assertion), the higher rate of eve-teasing, molestation, rape's is high.
In Mumbai if a guy(or group of guys) tries to get into a ladies compartment, they will get beaten up by the women and force them out at the next station, worse the guys on the next train stop will beat the perpretator even worser and that is before the guy is handed over to the cops and you know what happens there
Perhaps the folks in the NCR need to start emulating this to get the fear of god into the folks thinking that they can get away with it, but then again the folks in Mumbai also need to learn about train safety from Delhi:)
At the end of the day safety is relative and you can put thousands of laws in the books but people have to start caring about their own and then things will change
