Is this also to manage delays of incoming trains and use any other rake available ? Looks like that. I think more needed for trains going towards Pune/Mumbai. For all trains at least avg 8-9 SL & 4 gen should be the minimum. But railways it seems has other ideas. Gen & SL gradually being phased away

On June 2, 2023, the Coromandel Express collided with a stationary goods train at Bahanaga Bazaar station, causing a chain reaction that led to India's worst railway disaster in 30 years. The accident resulted in 293 deaths and over 1,100 injuries. The Coromandel Express's loco pilots, Gunanidhi Mohanty and Hajari Behera,...

have yet to return to their duties a year later due to the psychological and physical trauma they sustained. Both pilots are now able to report to work but are still recovering. The Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) report attributed the accident to faulty signalling caused by botched repair works, highlighting potential for prevention had repeated glitches been addressed. The case was handed over to the CBI, who arrested three railway officials. While the CBI has filed a chargesheet, there has been no further progress. Indian Railways has undertaken safety initiatives, including safety drives, inspections, seminars, circulars, audits and mock exercises with the NDRF. An independent safety audit of stations was also conducted, with 40 stations inspected so far.

Gunanidhi Mohanty aur Hajari Behera, abhi tak apna duty nahi kar paye hain, ek saal baad bhi, kyunki unko bahut bada psychological aur physical trauma hua tha. Dono pilots ab work pe jaa sakte hain, lekin abhi tak recovery kar rahe hain. Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) report ne accident ke liye faulty signalling ko blame kiya, jo botched repair works ki wajah se hua tha, aur bataya ki agar repeatedly glitches ko pehle hi address kiya jaata toh accident rokne ki sambhavna thi. Case CBI ko de diya gaya, jinhone 3 railway officials ko arrest kiya. CBI ne chargesheet file kar di hai, lekin uske baad koi progress nahi hua hai. Indian Railways ne safety ke liye kuchh initiatives liye hain, jaise ki safety drives, inspections, seminars, circulars, audits aur NDRF ke saath mock exercises. Station ka independent safety audit bhi kiya gaya, aur ab tak 40 stations check kiye jaa chuke hain.

On June 2nd, 2022, a devastating train collision occurred near Bahanaga Bazar station in Odisha, claiming the lives of 296 passengers, including Sk Zamalludin who was travelling to Chennai. Zamalludin's wife, Mafoja Bibi, is still searching for his remains and struggling to come to terms with his death. The incident also...

left Sanju Devi of Bihar heartbroken as she was unable to claim her son's body due to a DNA mismatch. The Odisha government had to cremate 28 unclaimed bodies after facing challenges in DNA testing due to the advanced stage of decomposition and delayed embalming. The Railways and Odisha government have faced criticism for discrepancies in the casualty figures. Despite paying ex-gratia to many families, the authorities are still struggling to resolve some death cases due to missing documents. The families of the victims continue to grapple with the emotional trauma of the tragedy.

June 2nd, 2022 ko, Bahanaga Bazar station ke paas ek bahut bada train accident hua jisme 296 passengers ki jaan gayi, jisme Sk Zamalludin bhi the, jo Chennai ja rahe the. Zamalludin ki biwi, Mafoja Bibi, ab bhi unke body ki talaash kar rahi hain aur unki maut ke gham mein...

dukhi hain. Is accident mein Bihar ki Sanju Devi ko bhi bahut dukh hua kyunki woh apne bete ka body claim nahi kar payi, DNA match nahi hone ki wajah se. Odisha government ko 28 unclaimed bodies ko cremate karna pada, kyunki bodies ke decomposition ki advanced stage aur delay in embalming ki wajah se DNA testing mein problem aayi. Railways aur Odisha government ko casualty figures mein discrepancies ke liye criticism ka samna karna pad raha hai. Bohot saare families ko ex-gratia payment karne ke baad bhi, authorities ab bhi kuchh death cases ko missing documents ki wajah se resolve nahi kar paye hain. Accident ke victims ke families ab bhi is tragedy ke emotional trauma se joodhe hue hain.
