The railway bridge on Parbati river is just after the station. There are protection girders(railings) on the bridge of Bhopal track but no protection girders on Ujjain track bridge. Why railway follows such practice?
I have also seen this on Tawa bridge(Jabalpur-Itarsi section; only 1 track has protection railings)

They are not protection girders.
The bridge on the Bhopal side is a 'Cantilever' bridge. The steel frame around the tracks is the load bearing structure and the bridge works because of the steel frame. It is not there for protection. If a derailment occurs on the bridge, these frames won't help.
The bridge on the other side, I guess, is an RCC bridge. It doesn't need the steel frames for bearing the load of the train.
