So a new day starts with another derailment. Another day of lost lives for no apparent reason. Seems like the government doesn't care a bit about people's lives. Incompetence at its peak. A new accident every second day, it is crucial to mention that most of the zones are delaying trains in the name of maintenance. Gods know what maintenance they're doing.

Be it a train moving at 130kmph or 70kmph or even a stationary train, nothing is safe nowadays. People booking a train are not even sure if they'll safely reach

their destination. Where is the RM? He forgot to do his usual on-camera drama after the Gonda accident. I doubt he'll bother even saying anything about the incident, let alone take any responsibility.

Mission Raftar on papers with massive slowdowns and undue extensions. ZBTT, with a plethora of political halts, even Rajdhanis, aren't spared. Shabbily maintained coaches and unpalatable food on premium trains. Long hours of delays and a string of accidents. The 'Amrit Kaal' of Indian Railways.

Our government doesn't care about human lives, that's evident. But they care about the capital gains, evident by their love of freight trains and the recent tax terrorism. These accidents damage multiple rakes, what about all the money going down the drain. No one seems to answer. RM won't take responsibility, the government as a whole will deny it's responsibility to it's citizens.

This will keep happening because we, as the citizens, have no conscience left. On a forum related to railways, people keep defending their masters with whatever means they find. Instead of asking the right questions, they keep calling it as conspiracy. Some great people even start asking what happened in the last 67 years. Until people will speak the language of politicians and be their puppets, this will continue.

And everyone will be happy with the third worldly services and no security of life, because 'Bharat me sab chalta hai'. The golden period of Indian Railways.

Useful
The consequences of privatization can be two kinds - Japan, one of the best railways in the world. The other, US or Canada, where road, oil and freight lobbies influence the growth of railways so much that passenger trains and services are given lesser priorities. I would suggest a system where tracks and operations are in control of Indian railways while private and govt services can be run together on the same tracks. Would reduce the burden of govt to maintain only tracks, track maintenance and operations while loco pilots, food , cleaning can come under private control. But the main point I want to make it, we have to tread very carefully to not let Indian railways become the second kind.

Agree Agree
I agree . Privatisation has its pros and cons , which vary from one sector to another . With respect to IR,
Privatisation of non- critical aspects is fine (albeit with monitoring by the railways).
However, Critical/core/ fundamental aspects concerned with operations, safety, maintenance should remain with the Government.

Agree:Completely agree with this!
Kuchh chezon par mai dhyaan lana chahta hun, Causes of derailment.
1) Packing of tracks...Without proper packing trains ate running at 130kmph in some sections like pnbe-ddu...i am a electrical engineer by degree and technisian in railway signal department as profession. Mai koi baklol aadmi nahi hun..besak mai signal me hun par railway ke sabhi department ki achhi khassi jankari rakhta hun..
Train heavely shakes in up line between ara-bxr ..i was travelling from 13201 in newly build 3ac coach..Coach shakes heavily, i was unable to sleep even i like sleeping in trains...2,3
...
more...
times jerk near Twininganj is so bad that i was thrown off my side lower seat..i know very well the difference between jerk and floating of coaches.. floating do not cause derailment but jerk can...i bet sone serious accident is waiting in pnbe-ddu if packing not done.
2) Bad bogies of freight trains especially boxn..i always watch the bogies and axles of freights carefully when it passes from me..i have seen heavily shaking axles irrespective of calm bogies...there is horizontal motion between bogie and axles, which should not be there...vertical motion is ok but not horizontal... horizontal motion represent faulty or heavily worn roller bearings...approx 20 out of 60 coaches in every boxn freight are bad, that is only surving due to wheel flange and good tracks or who knows that god is protecting...i have even seen parallel race of freight with my 13202 for about 10km...looked every faulty axles, thats insane...it can derail someday somwhere.
3) Irresponsible Officers...as we know railway is facing super lack of staff..Staffs are there in every department but numbers are only sufficient to do maintenance only nothing else..you expect them to do special work 3 days a week and think that it has no any effect on maintenance then you have no brain...these days are so hot, that you cannot work for 3,4 hours continuously in sun..you think that they will cut grass in station or block section and after 4 hours they will do maintenance of tracks, then you are wrong...we are not machines....these days i have seen 50's of group D staffs are busy in cutting grass daily..due to huge moist environment, grass came back again in 7-10 days...then again they start cutting. Instead of this you should have provided herbicide and spray machine and depute only 3,4 staff...they will do work of 50 people easily...grass will not come back again for 30 days minimum.
4) work load and duty period....Simple human are not machines... machine can even fail after proper maintenance then human can also fail...sone human failure led to disaster like SPAD.
