32 deaths in fire accident two days ago on bogie No.S-11 of Tamil Nadu Express near Nellore station on the way to Chennai in the early morning at 4-15 A.M created a sense of fear and anger against the railway establishment. Cause of fire is reported to be short-circuit in electrical installation inside the bogie.
As a frequent traveler in trains I was only wondering as to how we were lucky so far we haven’t had such accidents frequently in the past. The callousness and indifference exhibited by the railway staff needs several volumes to write about. What the hell they are doing for the pay and perks they derive from the railways department? Dereliction of duty to the core? No supervision, no inspection whatsoever……….?
