A rescuer has lost his life. 😔

The fact is most of the funds of railways budget nowadays are set aside for show off work like vande bharat (same train but new look and triple fare without any time saving) everyone of which was inaugurated by everyone knows who.

Such is credit hogging that no one knew name of railway minister till this accident happened.

Morbi bridge collapse also happened same way, out of 20 crores only 2 crores was spent that too on painting, finally the crooks were arrested and no surprises for guessing that those booked were sweepers painters etc.

CAG reports and past malfunctions have been reported already multiple times and needed to spend the budget on safety equipments, upgrades but then thats not visible to people and does not score brownie points.

Coromandel Express Balasore, Odissha accident: CRS probe faults signalling, traffic ops station staff: https://indianexpress.com/article/india/balasore-accident-crs-probe-faults-signalling-traffic-ops-station-staff-8694951/ The station staff of two departments, Signalling and Operations (Traffic), are learnt to have been held jointly responsible by the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS)’s probe into the June 2 accident.

The probe has found that the signalling maintainer submitted a “disconnection memo” to the station master to carry out repair work, as is the due process. After the work was done, a “reconnection memo” was also issued, meaning that the electronic interlocking signalling system was live.

But the safety protocol of testing the signalling system before allowing a train to pass was not followed, sources said Moreover, the signalling staff continued to attend to the work even after the reconnection memo was issued, the sources said, adding that the responsibility of the accident, therefore, fell jointly on the station’s operations staff as well as the signalling maintenance staff.

The report is also learnt to have found lapses in the protocols in vogue to access the relay room which is the nerve centre of the electronic interlocking signalling system for which both the signalling staff and the station master are accountable in the railway system.

^ Looks like result of ram-bharosey system and plethora of shortcuts , happens everyday / everytime .. this time FUCK happened .
