There are 5 level crossings, including 2 special class manned (Traffic), 1 special class, and 2 "A" class manned (Engineering) level crossings in the section. The second line was commissioned along with electrification.

The Chief Commissioner of Railway Safety inspected the railway bridges, track fittings, P-way assets, electronic inter-locking, relay rooms, cabins, and level crossings in the section.
