कंचनजंघा हादसे के लिए कौन जिम्मेदार? जांच रिपोर्ट में सामने आया नाम, और भी कई खुलासे

A goods train driver, assistant driver, and guard have been blamed for the Kanchenjunga train accident in West Bengal on Monday. An internal investigation by the Northeast Frontier Railway found that the crew disobeyed rules regarding operating trains at restricted speeds when the automatic signalling system was down. This resulted in...

a collision with the Kanchenjunga train, killing 10 people, including the goods train driver and guard. The investigation also revealed that the signalling system had been faulty for nearly three hours prior to the accident, but the Northeast Frontier Railway failed to notify authorities. The investigation report by the Northeast Frontier Railway's divisional officials found the goods train crew primarily responsible. According to railway regulations, when the automatic signalling system is down in a section, trains are operated under 'TA-912' memo, requiring trains to stop for a minute at red signals and maintain a restricted speed of 15 km/h. However, the goods train crew violated these regulations, exceeding the speed limit and colliding with the stationary Kanchenjunga train. The Northeast Frontier Railway has since revoked the 'TA-912' memo, requiring the implementation of the absolute block system, a safer approach where only one train is allowed to operate in a section at a time. Despite this, the Rangapani station master failed to follow the absolute block system and allowed the goods train to proceed before the Kanchenjunga train had reached the next station (Chatar).

Monday ko West Bengal mein Kanchenjunga train ka accident hua tha, aur uske liye goods train ke driver, assistant driver, aur guard ko blame kiya gaya hai. Northeast Frontier Railway ki internal investigation mein pata chala ki crew ne automatic signalling system down hone par restricted speed mein train operate karne...

ke rules ko ignore kiya tha. Isse Kanchenjunga train se collision ho gaya, aur 10 logon ki jaan gayi, jisme goods train ke driver aur guard bhi shamil the. Investigation mein yeh bhi pata chala ki accident se almost 3 hours pehle hi signalling system faulty tha, lekin Northeast Frontier Railway ne authorities ko inform nahi kiya. Northeast Frontier Railway ke divisional officials ki investigation report mein goods train ke crew ko main reason mana gaya hai. Railway ke rules ke according, jab kisi section mein automatic signalling system down hota hai, to train 'TA-912' memo ke under operate hoti hai. Isme red signal par train ko ek minute rukna padta hai, aur 15 km/h ki restricted speed maintain karni hoti hai. Lehin goods train ke crew ne yeh rules nahi follow kiye, speed limit cross kar di, aur stationary Kanchenjunga train se collide kar gayi. Northeast Frontier Railway ne 'TA-912' memo ko revoke kar diya hai, aur ab absolute block system implement kiya jaayega, jisme ek time par sirf ek train hi operate kar sakegi. Iske baavajood, Rangapani station master ne absolute block system ko follow nahi kiya, aur Kanchenjunga train ke next station (Chatar) pahunchne se pehle hi goods train ko rukne diya.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
