Train Tragedy claims 14 Lives

- By Amrit, (a correspondent, ‘Deccan Herald’

PATNA, Nov 12. The Indore–Patna Express 19321, a scheduled train from Indore to Patna,
derailed near few km away from Patna, India, resulting in at least 14 deaths and more than
150 injured. It is the deadliest train accident in India since 1999. The Indore–Patna Express
travels twice a week between Indore Junction railway station and Rajendra Nagar Terminal
in Patna. At approximately 03:10 local time on 12 November, the train derailed in the town
of Pukhrayan near the city of Kanpur. Fourteen carriages were derailed. Although the cause
of the derailment remains unclear, sources in the railways suspect the accident to have
been caused by rail fracture.

According to officials, most of the casualties were from two severely damaged coaches
namely S1 and S2 of sleeper class, and heavy machinery was being used to rescue
passengers trapped in the train. The rescue operations were carried out by the Indian Army,
the National Disaster Response Force, teams of doctors and local police. Rail mobile-medical
units were also on site. Helpline numbers for those affected by the derailment were issued
by Indian Railways.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, " I am anguished beyond words on the loss of
lives due to the derailing of the Indore–Patna Express" and added that his "thoughts are
with the bereaved families", in a tweet. The Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu tweeted,
"Strictest possible action will be taken against those who could be responsible for accident".

Within hours of the incident, the central government ordered an investigation to probe the
cause of the accident. Primary sources hinted at fracture in a section of the railway tracks
 8

which might have caused the train to skid off. Other sources speculated the train to have
been overcrowded. Some survivors claimed that one of the coaches was making noise and
that its wheels were not running smoothly.

KARNATAKA EXPRESS COLLIDES WITH GOODS TRAIN

- Amit Sharma, a correspondent of TOI

Bangalore, Feb 5. Ten people, including the driver and his assistant, were killed and over
fifty were injured when in the wee hours the Bangalore bound Karnataka Express collided
with a goods - train near Jolarpet. The train was just only two hours away from its
destination when the accident occurred. People got awakened from their sleep and there
were shouts and screams only.

The engine of the train went sideways causing immense damage to the platform. About six
coaches got derailed with damage to two bogeys of the goods train. A few people were
rescued by the Railway as reported by the Railway Superintendent. He further said that the
casualties were less because of the driver’s alertness as he had seen the goods train from
quite a distance and put the brakes to the maximum.

Emergency hospital vans were rushed to the accident site and the injured were taken to the
nearby hospital. Relief operations were undertaken by the authorities deputed for the task.

The Railway Minister Mr. Jayant Desai later went to the hospital to enquire about the health
status of the injured. The Railway police has started an enquiry into the cause of such
negligence. He told the reporters that he would make provision so that the injured ones get
the best treatment. Their relatives were also informed. He also announced to give an
amount of Rs.1 lakh from the Chief Minister's Public Relief Fund to the family of the
deceased ones.

About 2,000 workers were clearing the tracks and checking for damage to the rail line in
hopes of resuming traffic. Railway official Amit Kumar said that the government called for an
investigation into what caused the accident, promising to punish anyone found responsible.
