This is just the cheapest form of politics. Politicians and administration running away from their responsibilities instead of fixing shortcomings. The whole automatic signalling was not working , due to which paper based signalling was followed. Complications in this manual system led to the accident. The loco pilot cannot be blamed for this right? Not even one news channel talking about the signalling failure because they are sellouts to the BJP tbh, no offense. This damages the image of the esteemed RM. They want to take credit for achievements but simply don't want to work on shortcomings. Irrespective of your politics and affiliation, just that these things which involve passenger safety shouldn't be toyed around like this.

earlier number of derailment was more... and since last few years, number of collisions is more... this is really serious.
derailment may happen due to many different reasons but for collisions, it is more of human mistakes.

Whats wrong in this 40 km stretch between rangapani mayanaguri that two big fatal railway accidents happened in last two years.HCPV somehow have saved many lives but still death toll is 15+.Railway should look towards the safety of passengers and took this matter seriously looks like signalling problem they should improve the signalling system and prioritise LHB conversion they are running summer special with LHB coaches but old train like kanchenjunga still in ICF if LHB it would have ran no death or very less could be (excluding LP/ALPs of goods train).

Piyush Goyal was RM when, there was Covid,(talking about 2020) a natural advantage. Otherwise the condition was same, percentage gone from 0.6 to 0.5 only this is improved, otherwise Don't forget the Amritsar train disaster and when Hundry Express was rammed at Kacheguda.

And RM Ashwini Vaishnav name should be changed VB Minister. Only focus VB and AB trains.

---

It's unfair to criticize Ashwini Vaishnaw for this one accident, but in general, he has been below par. All fancy stuff but overall deterioration of even basic services. He isn't the right person for IR even not considering this accident. Also should be seen whether LP was overworked or the signal was obscured by something rather than just blame the dead LP, which is the easiest getaway here.

Yes correct looking at the impact, it seems like speed was high

---

According to form T/A 912 no train should be given /issued clearance untill the block section between two stations is cleared by the prior train.After confirmation only the next train should be allowed.So maybe controllers/SM to save detention had instructed to go more than the restricted speed as the speed is definitely not near 25/30 kmph.A incident of similar nature was seen in Southern railways where T/A 602 was followed by relief loco and the officers pressured to run the loco at 50 kmph instead 15 kmph.When Loco pilot refused he was given chargesheet which was later taken back after backlash.

---

Lps don't take steps on there own in most cases.They know that what implications are there for not following speed restrictions.It is mostly from the officers who force them to do so for saving detentions and show good punctuality results in the zonal railways and at the board.Incident of Southern railways has been attached in reply below where LP was given chargesheet even when he followed all rules just because he disregarded his seniors instructions to break the rule.

जब तक रेल मंत्री किसी jdu या tdp के संसद को नहीं बनाएंगे, तब तक रेल कर्मचारी और विपक्ष के लोग रोज इसी तरह कुछ न कुछ ट्रेन डीरेलमेंत कराने का प्लान बनाते रहेंगे और ट्रेन डीरेलमेंत करवाते रहेंगे । रेल कर्मचारी यूनियन और विपक्ष ठगबंधन जिंदाबाद

So going by your poorly crafted theory, all trains accidents in the past were a conspiracy by the then opposition parties .What Utter Rubbish !! It's not the right time to drag politics into this unfortunate tragedy. Please Refrain from spreading such misinformation. Whoever is in power is liable to answer, should take responsibility , and address rail safety issues diligently.

peacefull comunity minority are openly against BJP we all knows that very well. And govt employees and his family are keeping secret didn't tell you.

---

A big 🙏 to you.

---

Without using abusive words in IRI blog my reply post is getting deleted by some railways employees family and some chaatukars moderators because they don't want to accept any truth

---

Obviously, what is peaceful community and what have they to do with this incident? Baseless allegations against rail workers and minorities will be moderated and regulated, as simple as that. We try to have constructive debates here in this forum. We reach conclusions based on technical theories of how this accident was caused, based on train operating rules and protocols.

Why does India need a RM? Waise Bhi Vande Bharat Inaugurations ke liye toh Modiji hain hi! Other things can be managed by the bureaucrats who reach top mosts by corruptions and bribes, they can manage everything else... I think it should become a Ministry directly under the PM (like many other ministries/departments)... waste of public money... Aren't we supposed to have a "Minimum Govt, Maximum Governance" model? Ashwini Vaishnav can continue to be a Rajya Sabha MP from Odisha as long as he wants...
