But still I don't think it's a plausible solution. Also if IR starts to use parcel vans as safety buffers may be the businesses booking them will hesitate and instead choose other modes like roads.

Relax. Neither will railway do such thing, nor it'd become a big concern for general travelers or parcel booking parties.

Because as much as we can discuss or agree upon it being a perfect solution for time being, it isn't feasible economically. Given that even SLR parcel vans run empty in many trains.

It you can pinpoint to one or two things that needs improvement in Indian Railways then it's ok but looks like they are in a total mess now be it in terms of safety, security, crowd management, punctuality or cleanliness everything looks like in a total mess.
All the governments including current one have totally screwed IR in one or the other. I don't know if they will ever get out of this mess. Looks like a whole reset is required and covid era gave them the opportunity when only few trains were running but mostly they failed.

Dude the work culture in India is like if you work more than your official shift you are considered a hard working person otherwise a person coming and leaving work on time is looked down upon. Thats across private and government sectors. No one cares about efficiency going down due to fatigue.

---

Exactly my point, but I donot understand why people fail to realise this simple thing about accountability and go on to defend the RM as if unka Bhai/beta/relative ho!!

---

Hope that the death toll doesn't rises more than single digit.

---

Already touched 15 by now.

---

earlier number of derailment was more... and since last few years, number of collisions is more... this is really serious.
derailment may happen due to many different reasons but for collisions, it is more of human mistakes.

---

Whats wrong in this 40 km stretch between rangapani mayanaguri that two big fatal railway accidents happened in last two years.HCPV somehow have saved many lives but still death toll is 15+.Railway should look towards the safety of passengers and took this matter seriously looks like signalling problem they should improve the signalling system and prioritise LHB conversion they are running summer special with LHB coaches but old train like kanchenjunga still in ICF if LHB it would have ran no death or very less could be (excluding LP/ALPs of goods train).

---

See the condition of the loco as the HCPV was loaded. Imagine if it was empty..the impact on the train would have been more.

This accident has been happened at chicken neck and only 1 single line will remain as a connectivity with North East India with mainland.

Restoration work must be started at priority and should not take more then 24 hours for resumption.

---

Don't worry Alternate route is there via SGUJ AUB,

---

But that is a single line route.

---

As usual they will cancel short distance/intercity and passengers to run long distance ones
