Chennai Train Collision
September 13, 2011 2 Comments
A major train collision near Chennai that has taken lives of 9 people (the expected figure to go up) and injuring 9 people. The accident took place when a passenger train was hit from behind by an Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) train. This is a third major train accident in a span of 2 months. It seems to me that the politics of West Bengal and Prime Ministerial ambitions of our Rail Minister (Mamata Banerjee) has resulted in a neglected Rail ministry. The sorry state of affairs of Rail safety shown in abysmal rail safety record this year is a reflection of “how cheap” is the life of an ordinary man in India.
The other two major disaster’s have been as follows
July 10, 2011 – Kalka Mail derails near Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh killing 70 people and injuring more than 300.
July 07, 2011 – A Mathura Chhapra Express train rams into a bus carrying wedding guests around 2 a.m. at an unmanned railway crossing in Thanagaon, Kanshiram Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, killing 38 and injuring 30
I just hope this lust for power does not take precedence over safety of passengers.

A major train collision near Chennai that has taken lives of 9 people (the expected figure to go up). I believe there appears to be a trans-positional error instead of (the expected figure to go up) it should have been figure expected to go up.
Nothing new today,
This has being going on since ” 47.
I have yet see any body with the guts to take responsibility
of the chair they park their Fat rear end on.
India will be great only when these politicians think of the people they work for.
