* It will be most unfortunate for IR if the current RM, who is taking very good policy decisions in the long term interest of IR (rather than roasting his political chapatis unlike most of his predecessors), resigns. Sacking RM shall ensure that such accidents shall continue to happen as the real culprit responsible for accident shall continue to commit such mistakes again & again. The real culprit responsible for this accident need to be nailed.
* If the accident has happened due to not following the safety protocol as is reported in news, the persons responsible to do that job are the prime accused. Do the media expect RM to stand before hundreds of maintenance activities happening at any...

moment over IR network and ensure safety protocols are being followed? The whole gamut of safety procedures, protocols and their actual implementation need to be studied so that the accidents do not happen in future.
* If the accident is a sabotage, then the role/duty of the concerned officials need to be studied.
* Rail Accidents had happened in India since the inception, and no human had been able to eliminate them. Any accusation on Railway accidents should be based on facts and figures of accidents, instead of giving emotional/sensational touch to news. Every year hundreds of rail accidents, thousands of person lose lives in trains/ railway premises.
* Resignation of RM is not a solution, it is immaturity of media which is baying for the RM's blood. It is height of playing with emotions of public aggrieved with loss of life/ injury of many persons in the train accident. If that strict are Indian laws & its implementation, CEO of media house should be sacked for propagating any false news and corrupting the minds of crores of Indians. If sacking RM is the solution, then there will be atleast one new RM every month.
* IR is a team of RM, officials & workers, and the working of IR is a result of their combined effort of discharging their assigned duties. Competence, dedication & integrity of RM is beyond doubt, but there may be thousands of incompetent and careless employees/officials in IR, who will commit such mistakes. They need to be tackled properly, as it has been reported most of the IR accidents is due to human errors. Reports of Rly employees found drunk during the duty is a very dangerous indication, and this must stop in totality, else safe operation of trains is very unlikely.
* RM need to take his due responsibility. Spell out the steps taken by him and IR employees to prevent/minimize accidents. Study safety performance and analyse the data, past accidents, their causes etc so as to identify the real causes of rail accidents. Right solutions need to be found and must be implemented strictly and in right spirit if rly accidents have to be eliminated/minimised.

Moral responsibility naam ki bhi cheej hoti hai. Agar aap 2G scam, Coal Scam k liye Manmohan ko responsible bana sakte hai to Train accidents k liya Suresh prabhu kyu responsible nahi hai. Ye domuhapan kyu? hum kare to leela or tum karo to character dheela, ye attitude kyu hai.
Dusri baat, koi sabotage angle nahi hai. Railway employees se leke eye witnesses ne kaha hsi ki subah se maintenance work chal raha tha per na to red flag lagaya gaya tha na hi caution order issue kiya gaya tha. Clearcut case negligence ka hai, ise sabotage ka naam dekar agar chupane ki kosis ki to kal aapke sath bhi wahi hoga jo aaj Is train k passengers k sath hua...

hai.
Teesre baat, kyu Railway apne aap ko or logo ko dhokha de raha hai. Weekly trains ko lhb dekar on paper no. of trains with LHB increase ker raha hai per ground reality wahin ki wahin hai. Priority high patronage train ko LHB dene me diya jana tha per usse Railway logo k saaman joothe figures nahi de pata isliye un trains ko lhb nahi diya. Pichle dino overflowing trains ki ek list aai usme india ki top 10 overflowing trains ka naam tha, usme se kitne LHB k sath chalti hai wo batao sirf? Manoj sinha ko Gajipur se train chalane ko LHB mil jaata hai per High patronage trains ko dene k liye nahi!!
Rail Mantri ki koi sunta hi nahi. Kaisa incompetent aadmi hai yaar jiske employees uske nahi sunte. Kyu nahi Strict warning issue ki jaati hai top se bottom ki passenger safety se khilwad kisi kemat per bardaast nahi hoga. Employees bekauf hai, unhe pata hai ki ye Railmantri kuch nahi karega.
Catering system wahiyat halat me hai, trains ki punctuality worst ho chuki hai. Har ek do mahine k baad ek aisi accident ho jaati hai jisme Saikro log jaan gawa dete hai or aap policy ki baat karte ho. Policy ka matlab kewal Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train or Delhi-Banaras High speed corridor k sapne dikhana nahi hai. Public ho ya private, transporter ki sabse badi jimmedari hoti hai passenger safety, aap provide ker pa rahe ho kya passenger safety. Rajdhanio ko loota ja raha hai, har pakhware Accidents ho rahe hai or aap policy ki Baat karte ho? Jub aadmi jinda hi nahi rahega to policy ko dhar k Chaatega kya.

Accidents happened during the tenure of all the RMs and all have moral responsibility. All of them have faced the public ire & media fury in the event of every accident, and current RM is no exception. A few RMs have resigned on the ground of moral responsibility of train accident in past, but it have not helped IR to eliminate accidents.
IR have typical govt. style of functioning, none of the past RMs could bring any significant change including the present RM. Past RMs did not try to change it, current RM have atleast tried to change it. IR bureaucracy & unions are very powerful and taming and putting them in the right path is very tough task for...

any RM. I don't think any RM could do it successfully in past too.
