Mamta Banerjee- The Silent Killer
There is an age old saying "prepare for the worst so you won't be surprised or shocked". I guess as innocent rail passengers we should n't be preparing for the worst scenario every day or every month, this is crazy. Assuring passenger safety is the duty of railways. Since last 14 months we Indians have witnessed 14 months, that's the track record. Unfortunately not worth bragging about. It's shame that neither mam Banerjee nor Commisioner of Rail Safety has learned from the past rail accidents. When will our Railway officials learn from the past accidents. Recent accident that occured in West Bengal is another one to the major list.
According to Rail Industry experts, Insurance Claims or rescue operations in the last 14 rail accidents have costed Indian Government over Rupees 400 crores on a conservative estimate, this money could have been utilized to pay for modernization and upgrade efforts..
a) Train Protection & Warning Systems: Prevents train collisions.
b) Training of Locomotive Drivers: Educating and hiring highly skilled & experienced loco drivers.
c) Proper Design, Testing, Verification and Validation of Signaling Plans, Table Control Generations, Electronic & Relay Applications.
d) Planning for GSM-R: Better and faster communications between control rooms and train loco drivers.
Mamta: Please act now and protect innocent rail passengers from these ghastly accidents. I hope railways officials are listening....
Your sincerely
Dr. Tapan Roy
