There is another train accident in Jharkhand killing two passengers Howrah-Mumbai Express has derailed today. Yesterday, Bihar Sampark Kranti derailed. Previous week also, there was a train accident. There has been a series of trains accidents in India in the last six weeks.
Something has completely gone wrong with the Indian Railways. Now and then, there is a train accident in India. Only in June and July 2024, 17 individuals have lost life and about 100 individuals have been insured in these accidents.
People are losing lives. National property being destroyed. Opportunities are being lost in the process. National exchequer being exhausted in train accidents!
It doesn't seem natural that so many consecutive accidents take place one after another. It seems unusual and indicates that there are some bigger problems in the whole process which is being ignored by the Indian Railways.
Has the investment in the railways infrastructure and the maintenance been compromised for some reason or other? Or is there something else which railways don’t want citizens to know?
Whatever the reasons may be, but without doubt it is a matter of shame for the Railways Minister and the Government of India. Before it is too late, the Indian government must act and act fast.
The Nation is paying a huge cost!
