This is in reference to two accidents that we have witnessed recently near Mathura and near Jaipur. As citizens we are entitled to know the root cause of the train accidents from the Railway Board and Hon’sble Minister of Railways. We understand that Indian Railway has made significant investments in technologies and then why these safe guard mechanisms are not working. 1. Can people in the Indian Railways update us how many trains are equipped with train protection systems and warning systems2. How much money is spent per train in equipping the train with train protection systems and warning systems3. Which vendor or contractor did the work for implementing train protection systems4. What steps Indian Railways has taken to prevent such accidents5. We have read that Konkan Railways has developed Anti Collision Device indigenously. What are the current issues in the current system. If the current systems are not working, we should scrap them and buy from reputed international technology vendor and improve the safety6. How does Indian Railways ensure that signalling department has deployed designed and tested the signaling systems, applications and infrastructure as per the latest European standards CENELEC standards and SIL4 requirements. What proof the signalling dept is gathering from vendors to ensure that their design and tests go through thorough due diligence 7. Who is accountable for such accidents8. What monitoring systems are in place for better track engineering 9. What proactive steps RDSO is taking to prevent such accidents. I strongly feel that media combined with public pressure can make government accountable and improve safety.
