据印度时报报道，为了提高通行安全性，印度班加罗尔地铁公司将把Kempe Gowda地铁站的自动扶梯和楼梯的空隙填上。这次工程的开展是因为2019年1月，印度Srirampura地铁站发生了一起幼儿从自动扶梯摔落致死的事故，表明地铁站内自动扶梯和楼梯间的空袭应该用网或者金属板遮盖住，除此之外，此次工程还包括了轨道安全维修。目前大部分的地铁站只安装有一台自动扶梯，因此地铁公司决定在现有的站内加装扶梯设备。
INDIA’S BMRCL TO COVER GAPS BETWEEN ESCALATORS, STAIRS
In an effort to improve safety, Bangalore Metro Rail Corp. Ltd. (BMRCL) will cover gaps between escalators and staircases at Kempe Gowda Metro rail stations in Bengaluru, The Times of India reports. Also involving safety-rail repair, the upgrades come in the wake of a fatal January 2019 accident in which a toddler fell from an escalator at Srirampura Metro to the road below, indicating the need for gaps to be covered by safety nets or metal sheets. With many stations served by only one escalator, BMRCL is also installing more escalators at existing stations.
