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...
more...
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).

सोमवार को पश्चिम बंगाल में कंचनजंघा ट्रेन दुर्घटना के लिए मालगाड़ी के ड्राइवर, सहायक ड्राइवर और गार्ड को दोषी ठहराया गया है। पूर्वोत्तर सीमांत रेलवे की सुयंक्त जांच रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि ऑटोमैटिक सिग्नल सिस्टम खराब होने पर प्रतिबंधित रफ्तार में ट्रेनों को चलाया जाता है, लेकिन मालगाड़ी के...

क्रू सदस्यों ने इस नियम का पालन नहीं किया। इसके चलते ड्राइवर-गार्ड सहित कुल 10 लोगों की मृत्यु हो गई। जांच के दौरान यह भी पाया गया कि घटना से करीब तीन घंटे पहले ही सिग्नल खराब हो गई थी, लेकिन पूर्वोत्तर सीमांत रेलवे ने इसकी सूचना नहीं दी। रेलवे बोर्ड के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने बताया कि रेल मैनुअल के अनुसार रेल हादसा के बाद डिविजन स्तर के अधिकारी इसकी जांच कर रिपोर्ट विभाग को सौंप देते हैं। इसके साथ ही रेल संरक्षा आयुक्त (सीआरएस) की ओर से पृथक जांच की जाती है। पूर्वोत्तर सीमांत रेलवे (एनएफआर) के डिविजन के सेक्शन इंजीनयिर, पाथ-वे इंजीनियर, जूनियर इंजीनियर आदि अधिकारियों ने कंचनजंघा ट्रेन हादसे की जांच रिपार्ट में प्रथम दृष्टया मालगाडी के क्रू सदस्यों को दोषी ठहराया है। अधिकारी ने बताया कि किसी भी सेक्शन (दो रेलवे स्टेशनों के बीच) पर ऑटोमैटिक सिग्लन सिस्टम खराब होने पर ट्रेवलिंग ऑथारिटी 912 (टीए-912) मेमों के साथ यात्री ट्रेनों व मालगाड़ियों का संचालन किया जाता है। इसमें लाल सिग्नल पर ट्रेनों को एक मिनट रुकना होता है और प्रतिबंधित रफ्तार 15 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटा से ट्रेन चलाई जाती है। रंगापानी-छतर सेक्शन पर उक्त समस्या के चलते टीए-912 के अनुसार यात्री ट्रेन का परिचालन किया गया। लेकिन मालगाड़ी के ड्राइवर-सहायक ड्राइवर ने नियम का पालन नहीं किया। बता दें कि लगभग 45 किलोमीटर प्रतिघंटा की रफ्तार से मालगाड़ी ने आगे खड़ी कंजनजंघा ट्रेन को पीछे टक्कर मार दी। इसमें मालगाड़ी के ट्रेन मैनेजर (गार्ड) की लापरवाही रही है। क्योंकि गार्ड के पास इमरजेंसी ब्रेक लगाने के साथ ड्राइवर-सहायक ड्राइवर को सतर्क करने की ड्यूटी होती है। टीए-912 जारी करने पर रोकएनएफआर के महाप्रबंधक और अन्य वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों ने बैठक के बाद जोन में टीए-912 को रद कर दिया है। यानी किसी सेक्शन में ऑटोमैटिक सिग्नल सिस्टम फेल होने पर टीए-912 मेमो के आधार पर लाल सिग्नल में ट्रेनों का परिचालन नहीं किया जाएगा। नियम के अनुसार, सिग्लन फेल होने पर अब्सूल्यूट ब्लाक सिस्टम लागू हो जाता है। इसमें एक ट्रेन के अगले स्टेशन पर पहुंचने के बाद दूसरी ट्रेन चलाई जाती है। यह सबसे सुरक्षित तरीका माना गया है। लेकिन रंगापानी के स्टेशन मास्टर ने अब्सूल्यूट ब्लाक नियम का पालन नहीं किया। कंचनजंघा ट्रेन के अगले स्टेशन (छतर) पर पहुंचने से पहले ही मालगाड़ी को रवाना कर दिया।

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.

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.
