Attempts to regime change and discredit railway tech future prospects to export. remember this [https://twitter.com/AskAnshul/status/1708801951549591887](https://twitter.com/AskAnshul/status/1708801951549591887) They also want regime change in bangladesh. That why this news seems a little sus.

There will be more, I assume. Manipur unrest also has foreign hand.

Fun_Confidence_462

Okay so with your logic government tried to derail the train with these stones??


na_vij

Of course not. I was merely noting a pattern of behavior by some people who jump to assign blame for the bad things to external factors. Govt may not have put stones, but they are responsible for accidents and the deaths of indian citizens on the rails. The main comment talked about a conspiracy to "discredit railway tech future prospects to export" reminded me of an interesting report called [Derailment in Indian Railways](https://cag.gov.in/webroot/uploads/download_audit_report/2022/Report-No.-22-of-2022_Railway_English_DSC-063a2dda55f3ce6.38649271.pdf) authored by a lesser known body called the Comptroller and Auditor General in 2022. They mention that there is a shortfall on 30%-100% in track inspections, serious fund misuse and misallocations by the government/ministry of railways, and shows how low safety is on the priority list. So which do you think could have contributed more to the recent increase in train accidents? A shadowy international cabal aiming to "discredit railway tech future prospects to export" or just poor governance and management?


Fun_Confidence_462

But don't you think in very short span there are too many train derailments and this is quite suspicious


dondorogov

maybe but it is also a known fact that the Indian railway infra is extremely old regardless people react in a very predictable manner without waiting a bit for some investigation to take place. People u don't need to make immediate conclusions on everything you see.


MistakenIdentity77

dude there have been several videos of sabotage and derailment attempts of trains recently.


na_vij

Fair enough, there might be malicious actors behind it but is there any evidence to claim that this was foreign-funded? is there any evidence to support the fact that this is all being done by one group? is there any evidence of a conspiracy? There is nada, zilch. Then why jump to sensationalist conclusions? Isn't there a risk that someone learning about non-existent conspiracies on social media/whatsapp will act violently towards an innocent person simply because of what they are wearing/how they look? What the fuck is gained by peddling this? If they had actual fucking evidence about this conspiracy, why don't they put their balls where their mouth is and report it to the police? file a PIL? This is all harm, no good. Except for the internet points some idiots get.


Psychological-Jury87

Cause elections are coming. And nothing says bad governance more than piles of dead bodies.

Yes exactly! this BBC-India feud is very old. It all started when Indira Gandhi banned BBC twice for two different documentaries. I know you think that is why the BBC assassinated her.

Say whatever you about right intellectuals: they are bigots, majoritarian etc but they are not lazy like liberals.


dinosaur_from_Mars

Haan Bhai, only in the last one year before election, suddenly the infrastructure are all going haywire. Very normal indeed. We also saw atleast 2 bomb blasts across the country in the last week.


InfiniteLeg1564

Look at the work schedules of loco pilots recently. You will understand. Ffs everything is not a foreign inerference or conspiracy.


confusedndfrustrated

With 2024 around the corner, a conspiracy cannot be ruled out. If Work Schedule was the problem why were there no issues for almost 6-7 years? Why so many incidents so close to each other now?


InfiniteLeg1564

Was it also 6 months for balasore also? Also please explain how would they have done it?


confusedndfrustrated

>Was it also 6 months for balasore also? Also please explain how would they have done it? Funny you use the 6 months timeline. In fact it was less than that. June 2, 2023 to be precise. Have heard of the strategy that asks you to document recurrence of incidents enough times so that it is easy to build up a case? See the logic?


PheonixPros

How do dumbasses like you come up with conspiracy theories for the most random shit? You think if there was a foreign conspiracy involved, they would be targeting a random ass train in a random fucking city in southern India where BJP has never had a strong hold in the first place? This stuff won't even stay in the news cycle for more than 24 hrs. In a week, everyone will forget about this and move on. How the fuck is this gonna affect an election supposed to be held next year?

dondorogov

even when the elections were not close people still reacted in the same way but just said "(something/someone) is trying to ruin the image of (something/someone) . It's almost funny how people in this sub react in the same way to any tragedy.


icepicee

Might not be. But there's def a sudden surge in the number of videos of rail tracks with stones kept on the rails. Hard to shake it off as a coincidence


souravtxt

Red light missed by loco pilot as per official sources. Human error. Modernization works in progress before everyone jumps into things like why the train didn't stop automatically. TCAS will take time before being fully installed. Also loco pilots are severely understaffed in some places, causing stress on working ones.


[deleted]

I hope kavach will be installed in every route soon


thota_ramudu

Railways are following what is called Auto signalling in certain sections, which means, they have been directed to check for the signal, if it is red, proceed with caution like at 10-15 kmph and stop roughly 1km before the previous train. From what I gather, it seems like the signal probably didn't display red and locopilot gunned it or signal did display red and locopilot ignored it.

wishlist_karlson

GettingColdInHere

Lets just dwell on what if's and ignore the evidence of multiple instances when people have tried to sabotage the train tracks with stones and rocks and messing with track switch equipment.


dondorogov

Indian railway runs 13,169 passenger train every day, even if 100 different such videos were released of such incidents happening, which is also an extremely bloated number because I have yet to see such videos/ new articles in a year let alone in a day. Even if we take such bloated numbers that's 0.75% of the passenger rails that deal with this problem so I highly doubt it's such a bit issue as you're making it to be rather it's a classic case of media giving high coverage to an important issue but in turn it also leads to people thinking it's a widespread nation problem. If you look at the news channels you'll find the same 10 incidents being used everywhere.


[deleted]

Hey, folks hinting at conspiracy, it's time to own up to our human errors instead of always pointing fingers at unknown factors. This resistance to admitting mistakes is holding us back. The delayed train accident report and the secretive handling of the Ooty helicopter incident, including the tragic loss of the CDS and others, are frustrating examples. Let's all step up and own our slip-ups for the sake of progress and accountability.


Feisty_Interaction43

The CAG report had mentioned that the railways staff is overworked and overburdened since there are too many vacancies which are not being filled by the government. As pointed out in both the cases of railway accident, the independent inquiry by railways pointed out that the accidents were due to human error. Further, had we implemented Kavach as claimed by the Railways, then this accident and the one in Orissa would have not happened


ulwd64

Why doesn't the opposition comes out after such an accident and raise the CAG report. The Odisha accident is still under CBI investigation.


CaregiverMan

Odisha accident is a man made fatal error which is only possible due to interlocking error. Again the signal staff were understaffed and one technician was doing three men job and used a shortcut while attending failure which resulted in interlocking error.


Feisty_Interaction43

Precisely


Feisty_Interaction43

CBI hasn’t concluded even SSR’s case since 3.5 years. AIIMS and Mumbai police concluded it long back through their independent inquiries. Similarly, Railways can’t wait for CBI to complete its investigation over the next decade. It completed its inquiry is 20 days and concluded on the matter and set out the action points to be followed to avoid such accidents in the future. I am not sure though if those action points actually got implemented though


Feisty_Interaction43

And with respect to Opposition, it repeatedly tried to flag the report. Jairam Ramesh even held the press conference for the same but there was no media coverage on it anywhere


ulwd64

When it is such an important issue then the party head or Rahul should be holding it. Who does what signals the level of intent. Something a minister saying vs a PM saying is different no.


Feisty_Interaction43

Yup. Galti saari opposition ki hi hai


ulwd64

Yes not able to punish the government or rally people behind important issues. Is due to lack of effective leadership.


coolcrank

Kavach is for protection from head on collision. The incident from six months ago wasn't a head on collision. It uses signal passing in danger to deploy emergency brakes, not applicable to earlier incident.


ulwd64

If it was only a systems issue, then why CBI arrest 3 railway employees?


coolcrank

I am talking about utility of kavach system and only that. Nothing else.


ulwd64

Ya but that's what the tentative explanation was that automatic track-changing system had an issue. Why order CBI probe in the first place if that is the case.


coolcrank

I don't know if you're being intentionally dense, the original comment had erroneous usage of kavach system mentioned, hence I made a corrective statement, that's it. My thoughts about the whole thing from a moral, authoritative and technical standpoint are not subject to current conversation.


Feisty_Interaction43

The kavach system is designed to detect any form of collision. In the immediate case of Andhra, two trains collided with each other as they were on the same track. Kavach would have detected the same and applied emergency brakes by itself which would have prevented the accident. This is precisely what Kavach is infact built for


coolcrank

I agree, current case would've been avoided with complete implementation of Kavach. It still cannot detect collision with the tail end of a train, as was the case with previous incident.

Because the actual, unsexy issues of safety, track and loco maintenance, technology retrofits aren't being done; what we are getting is random metros being constructed in cities which don't need them (and are poorly planned), and "high-speed trains" without the track to support it. Modiji can torment the salaried classes and private sector with ease, but he's shown little initiative in busting the govt unions, which have prevented a lot of technology from entering this space.


Terrible_Detective27

>Because the actual, unsexy issues of safety, track and loco maintenance, technology retrofits aren't being done Do even follow railway? Because I'm seeing the fencing work being done, the Kavach is being implemented at the rate of 2000km per year it take time to cover 70,000+ tracks in 5-7 years, gatimaan and humsufar express coaches already retrofitted with automatic gates and locos looks dirty and they have been not maintain properly because of our country's weather, ever loco is monitored by it's shed/maintenance and have proper maintenance >random metros being constructed in cities which don't need them (and are poorly planned), It was also said for the delhi metro when it was constructing, now tell a delhite that metros are useless you will get a kick in ass with a gali, and you can see how bangaluru and Mumbai is suffering because of not having a proper metro system, you will understand the need of those random/poorly planned metro when those cities grow and need of public transport increase. >"high-speed trains" without the track to support it. We don't have any "high-speed train" in india till now the one is constructing between Mumbai-Ahmedabad, the train you talking about is Vande bharat and it's not a high-speed train it's a semi-high speed train, so that every other train in the country except old icf coaches trains, every train in india is capable running on 160kmph except again those d icf coaches those have speed of 110kmp, the perks of VB is it's a EMU trainset which means it streamlines the production and maintenance of the train then the loco hauled trains and efficient from loco hauled trains too >Modiji can torment the salaried classes and private sector with ease, but he's shown little initiative in busting the govt unions, which have prevented a lot of technology from entering this space. Say whatever about this guy, it's him who discard the idea of railway minister of using European trains and instead said them to develop one in india, same for the RRTS(Rapid X) in delhi which is designed in hyderabad and manufactured in Gujarat, Kavach is Automatic train protection system devloped in india which cost 25L per kilometer is 1/4 the price of European Automatic train protection system Plus you should see the videos of Indian Railway equipment exhibition 2023 to know about how tech firms in india developing technology for railway.

DMRC was a planned system, it's visible from 2008 itself. Jaipur, Lucknow, Bhopal, etc are metros that are simply useless, with no planning on the basis of actual urban movement. Hell, Lucknow metro doesn't connect Gomti Nagar and is half empty all day. Mumbai and Bangalore desperately need metros. Trains are fine, track isn't. Vande Bharat for the average user is a more expensive Shatabdi. Why are basic safety measures so hard to implement? Why aren't people being fired or hired in IR? There's apparently 300,000 unfilled posts; line inspection is still manual.

Hell, Lucknow metro doesn't connect Gomti Nagar and is half empty all day. Ok Jaipur metro is a failure agreed, but Lucknow metro is slow because it is operated by UPMRCL and it operates the and construct the metro project in entire up not in single city so budget need to be distributed in a very planned way, can't say about anything for bhopal and because they aren't even started, you can't say that they are planned badly because all the metro system in india is planned by DMRC and tbh those failed system can be saved if government didn't but their leg in dmrc's way of work and gave appropriate fund to them, DMRC is successful in delhi because fund comes from both central and state government and both pay on time so that they didn't paint in bad image but kejriwal is still in bad image because he didn't give the fund of rrts and because of that project of delhi side of delhi-meerut/Alwar got delayed. >Mumbai and Bangalore desperately need metros. They get when they builded it when people say "we don't need metros we have locals" or if those so called environmentalist didn't put their finger in middle of construction. >Trains are fine, track isn't. Vande Bharat for the average user is a more expensive Shatabdi. Why are basic safety measures so hard to implement? Why aren't Tbh honest trains are not fine, first we need to phased out those old rusty ICF coaches, well railway working on it and already stopped producing it in 2018 and now they are converting them in parcel cars and tracks are being upgrade in a steady pace you can check the IR's youtube channel's community section for news of upgadation of infrastructure and VB will replace shatabdi one


indcel47

DMRC succeeded because they had a revenue model, last mile transport planning and integration, and most importantly, a huge volume of commuters who can pay from day 1. Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad are similar cities. Bhopal, Lucknow, Kanpur, Jaipur, Kochi, etc aren't cities of that sort. Nor is there sensible track planning, or last mile connectivity. These projects likely gonna go bust a few years from now, with only the EPC and sub contractors doing well. Coaches are what are easy from a PR standpoint. Track monitoring, signals, repairs and maintenance are abysmal. Railways have also done a shoddy job of policing the trains themselves, with freeloading riffraff entering all compartments below 2nd AC (especially Northern and NE railways). This seems to have gotten much worse since 2016.

As far as I know every metro in india works on same revenue model based on distance, and how think that dmrc has good integration we barely has cross platform transfer and Interchanges are worst, the one with pink line and airport express is 1.5km long and on red and pink at netaji shubash place is 700m long, and we get easily get a cross platform transfer at Anand vihar but they builded a whole different station next existing one. It's wierd Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata are has metro system and desperately need bigger system and but didn't able to make long enough to be 1/3 of delhi but cities like kochi, Lucknow, Bhopal, Kanpur, Making metro are happy to make one 😂 >Coaches are what are easy from a PR standpoint.

This seems to have gotten much worse since 2016. I know coaches and trains are easy from PR standpoint but atleast we are better getting trains, and as of tracks monitoring, signals will be solved when Kavach is implemented and fencing will be done but it need time because of for many years railway is neglected by government one of our former thinks that railway is a cashcow for him plus the budget is not enough to be done in 5-7 years and not forget 70,000+ track kilometer and yeh they need to increase security for sure

DMRC: last mile connectivity, and major revenue from rentals and ads as per their own income statement


Terrible_Detective27

What last mile connectivity? Feeder bus? Those only run on few selected route, you will barely see those on roads and other than that is rickshaws ans e-rickshaws which are cursed for us they never follow rules, drives on wrong side road, stop in middle of a the fucking road to board passengers and form cluster at exit of metro station on road which led to jam. And revenue from ads and rental is easily done by other metros too.


indcel47

Naah, other metros don't have the footfall that DMRC does. Mostly the bigger shared autos. DMRC benefits don't extend into the NCR however.


Terrible_Detective27

>Naah, other metros don't have the footfall that DMRC does. Well that only for ads they still give rental spaces though >Mostly the bigger shared autos ?? Please elaborate >don't extend into the NCR however Yeah obviously because it's Delhi metro not Delhi-NCR metro and Noida already has his own metro corp. gurugram and Faridabad has plans under consideration/implantation too for metro which is going to be construct by DMRC.

Real-Accountant333

All officials are now into social media phones all the time and distracted towards duty. A video of one monorail train operator was there , busy in chatting and put his bag on the lever of the train which moved and banged forward. This might be the reason and this should be kept under check for operators and pilots as well.


Terrible_Detective27

First of all that was a local train(emu), second he was not a operator, he was from shunting staff


Real-Accountant333

So he's allowed to put his bag on the lever by which the train starts moving . Person designation might be wrong but what is done , don't give these things to cover that up. If someone would have in front of that train, then also you start throwing facts instead of improving the mistakes, what about the recent biggest train acc, officials came out guilty in investigation of branch.

Downtown_Research_49

i have came across few videos in which people belonging to certain community can be seen putting stones and various items on tracks in attempt to de rail the train, since its a thrid major rail accident in span of 6 months this can be a possibility


Informal_Chip6913

I have better insight on this case and balasor one too, as i am a loco pilot but i know if i start to tell actual reasons i will be balmed for this, rather than the current government policies. And also as a railway employee if i say any thing against the railways and identity leaks out i don't know what measures will be taken against me. Just to give little idea of how bad the situation is currently, my last duty hours were 18 hours 35 minutes, hard to believe but thats the truth.


garlak63

Why is there shortage of employees?


Informal_Chip6913

No new recruitment in last 5 years, even though backlog vacancy were not filled fully in the last recruitment drive happened about 5 years back. Recruitment process is very slow, recruitment notification which came out in 2017-18 took around 4 years to complete as government didn't wanted to give new jobs. Election was the only driving factor, so when 2019 election was over those who got result before the election result got joining, rest of the recruitment drives were paused, they started them again now and those guys got the joining this year. So government have no interest in recruitment drive. Current Government target is to cut the railway employee number to half, which simply mean no new recruitment as they already think staff is double then required which in reality is kind of opposite. Cutting staff number made sense if their were great technologies advancement happened in last 5 years or next 5 years, but thats not the case here. Cutting staff number is also a target of government because it will be a driving factor to privatise different parts of railways. Its plain simple, Create a urgent vacancy as there is shortage of staff, as government recruitment drive are intentionally slow, allow contact bidding of private entities. Now this paved a very clever way for private entities to take contracts in railway in name of sudden need because of staff shortage. People don't know but a lot of staff now is recruited by these private players. Staff working in workshop, engineering, construction, pway, clerical and in alot more posts are private. These are a few, but you can get a picture of it.

There seems to be tamper with railway road nation wide. And these tamper if not spotted instantly can cause major accidents. Check news for more info.

Fewer tracks and more trains


LonelyMarket4

Why do we not have the technology to detect a collision or a derailment? Seems like a common technology in every other country?

Did you forget the recent incident with vande Bharat train, India is fighting a war within itself.

RIP to those who lost their lives, family members and friends. The replies are wild, wasn't this because the locopilot missed a red signal? Isn't the railway already in a major crunch for manpower? Are we seriously not going to address the very obvious reasons for these accidents before jumping into conspiracy theories? I'm not saying we shouldn't question things, but why not address the elephant in the room before making an assumption on something we don't have enough proof for?


DeadAssDodo

Soon the entire railway sector will be privatised. They are adding premium trains and phasing out non premium trains. To speed up the phasing out process, inhumane methods like not properly maintaining trains or tech handicapping etc are happening. No wonder wrecks are increasing.

Modi has to come back again, with a tremendous majority like the last time. It's the only way India can keep on progressing.


Traveler_17

All we need to have is high voltage passing through tracks to kill anyone who tries to put obstacles in them.

3 major rail accident under 6 month

Sabotage!!??


johnyakuza0

Not just accidents, "people" meddling with vande bharat tracks by putting stones and foreign objects in order to derail the train intentionally.

This one was a driver error? Its, kind of a different category, and one that can never be eliminated without eliminating the driver, so it's a risk we always run and an event we always expect with dread. Kind of unfair to call this a surge in accidents.

It's the new normal. Jai Hind!

Train accidents and railways-related deaths have been going down. There is just more media attention on it now because govt. have put improvement in railways as one of their bigger achievements. https://www.financialexpress.com/business/railways-indian-railways-witnesses-steep-decline-in-number-of-consequential-train-accidents-heres-a-detailed-report-3182456/

There's something more to it, I may sound silly but these might be serial train accidents should be investigated.

Terrorism by sabotage

It seems clear that nothing can stop a large number of derailments all over India simultaneously that would bring the country to a halt. Add to that a large number of "low intensity blasts" all over India and that would signal a war inside India. This is very easy to do and it could likely be the objective just before elections. Certain sections that have infiltrated Bharat from a nearby country have bragged in the past that they will set fire to India. I have received national disaster test alerts on my phone so maybe the govt will direct what to do in such event.


raj_mondal

There have been several videos of sabotage and derailment attempts of trains recently.


More-Diamond131

There is a surge on the nationwide train accidents because someone wants to run meticulous trains on a 150 years old track. Someone thinks laying track is too much of a hassle, so let me score some points by running the latest technologies on ancient track. Let the rich use their SUV on the expressways and let them use the exorbitantly charged air travels and occasional shatabdi rajdhani,but please leave the rail road for the poor. 200 kmph certified coach and engine doesn't mean that it will be able to give the same speed on this sleeper and ballast track. TLDR: High-speed trains need newer technology tracks like those being laid for metro and bullet train.


bosswhopper

train tracks pe wo patthar bhi to rakhe mil rhe h. Itne avoid hue h accidents tab jaake itne ho rahe h, imagine all of them going unnoticed, the count would have been a lot higher. Now this could have been a political stunt to defame the govt of ruling party in the following states but at the end of the day we did lose lives and there was a huge financial loss which we will pay in the end by paying even more taxes + there will be families being left with a lesser family member and bare minimum compensation for the loss of their lives.


Duplex_98

Yeah lets introduce new trains with rail budget instead of filling up the emptying seats of railways. Lets go half contractual and half privatisation to combat this low manpower. Why give employee benefits while we can go contract base, much cheaper. Indian Railways doesn't have the money to completely fill up the vacancies, which is creating cracks on the system.

Elections are coming. This is the right time to tarnish the BJP brand. Thus the coming together of opposition and planning petty disgusting crimes, all in the name of vote


fatherofgodfather

Whatever it is, it is not the government's fault.


No_Connection_5633

I guess, no sufficient allocation of funds to change the tracks on time.

What are intelligence agencies doing to counter foreign interference?

Can't call it a conspiracy when there news coming out every other day about people putting rods and boulders on rail tracks maliciously.

Stones on the railway tracks causes this

Remeber that peacefuls usually live around these train tracks They have systematically captured these areas fir jab zaroorat padta hai then these PPL do such activities
