Mumbai : The Bombay High Court Monday asked Chairman of Railway Board to file an affidavit by December 10 stating what railway administration proposes to do to comply with court orders on setting up emergency medical centres at suburban stations to give first aid to accident victims.  The direction was given by a bench headed by Justice Abhay Oka on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by activist Samir Zaveri, who had lost his legs in a railway mishap, on the issue of safety to suburban railway passengers.  The bench also asked the Addl Solicitor General Anil Singh to appear in this matter and assist the court. The Western and Central Railways are being represented by senior lawyer Suresh Kumar.
