Entire Central Railway HQ was sitting on the dump of explosive of 8 k.g. of RDX left by 2 terrorists in the night of 26 -11-2008, for almost 8 days unnoticed by any security agency either GRP or RPF who have been entrusted with the security of lakhs and lakhs of passengers both long distance train as well as daily commuters. If News of India TV has to be believed then it was revealed by this News channel that due to the mistake of setting up of wrong timing of detonation in the timer of Bomb by arrested Terrorist Ajmal Malik Qusab it did not explode at CST Station. As terrorist Ajmal Malik Qusab fixed the timing of detonation of Bomb in the timer at 296 Hours instead of 296 Minutes as planned by them. It means if the timing of 296 minutes would have been there the RDX would have been exploded by blowing up entire CST station and its Administrative buildings after 5 hours of their escape from CST Station.
Now the question here arise who is responsible for this terrible lapse? How & where the Railway security agencies went wrong? Was any emergency preparedness plan exists on that day with both RPF & GRP to tackle such a magnitude of attack on crowded CST Station? What was their action plan to resist the attackers? As 2 years back only Mumbai was rocked with series of Explosion in sub-urban local trains killing 184 daily commuters and there after why enough security measures were not taken to tackle magnitude of such attack. Where & how the Hard earned money of Tax payers were utilised in the name of bringing sophisticated weapons and Electronic Gadgets after the 2006 Explosion? And if security agencies acquired it why RPF staff were with lathis and a very few with out dated .303 Rifle instead of automatic arms.

The episode of non functioning of CCTV at main Station of CST where all the 58 passengers were gunned down and scores were injured, is still a mystery which has to be probed by some independent agency to fix the accountability. why there are no footage or recording of the vital evidence of how and from which direction the 2 Terrorist entered the CST Station, how they prepared themselves and launch the assault, as these footage have been a great help for security agencies in assimilating & improving the chances of weathering such an incident with minimum loss in the event of such attack in near future. In absence of this footage the fighting sprit of some of the Brave police men like GRP Inspector Shashank Shinde and Constable Ambadas Pawar of Mumbai police who lost their life at CST station at the hands of terrorists could not be captured. If CCTV footage record would have been there definitely the bag containing RDX would have been recovered at the same time.
When immediately after the incident all the higher officers of RPF & GRP have reached the CST Station why sanitization of the area was not carried out by them or they themselves are not aware about any such procedure like sanitization. If sanitization would have been carried out by these officers immediately the bag containing RDX could have been detected. It is again a matter of enquiry as how many training courses were attended by IGCSC/RPF/CR B.S.Siddhu in his 5 years deputation in RPF to keep the force members abreast with the changing warfare of Terrorists or the officers are immune from such training. What are the commitment of these officers towards their duty? Who is suppose to evaluate their work? Are they not answerable to any one? If not then at least they have their own consciousness and how could they sits at the top without realizing that due to negligence on their part 58 passengers became the victim of Terrorist attack and that too they were allowed to escape unhurt from Railway territory and still these officers are playing trumpet of their own glory and the glory of their other non performing subordinates on the death of 58 innocent passengers. This only could be called as shame and nothing else.

Why railways are tolerating this pest named Sandhu, who cannot think beyound himself? Should not he be tried for causing death OF 78 PEOPLE due to negligence? THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC TRIAL OF SANDHU FOR ABETTING TERRORISM.
