Useful
Derailed doesn't mean capsized. Derailment depends on track and wheel technology and not type of coach. Any coach will derail in these circumstances. From pics, we can see SLRD , PV and the GS coach capsized. some SL coaches crumpled around the washroom area and that is intentional as LHB coaches crumple zone is designed to be in that portion. For GS and SLRD LHB design isn't meant for such coaches and previously also there were issues flagged with LHB GS coaches. Also separate railway budget was stopped because there was no utility in announcing a separate Railway Budget. It was just used as a PR opportunity to announce new trains and most promises were not fulfilled. Safety was always in hands of God not because of Budget but because of work culture where safety isn't a big focus of the Railway Babus and the same percolates down to lower levels....

Babus give unrealistic timelines for trackwork with insufficient equipment and pay, work orders going to L1 contractors who also have to pay some cut money to the Babus. So now to meet these unrealistic timelines without proper equipment, workers have to use shortcuts and compromise on safety. Anyone who speaks out against this practice is either ignored or removed. Also any mistake by low level workers leads to severe reprimand or removal, so workers are encouraged to hide their mistakes if any and paper over them to make it seems everything is fine when it's not. In a lot of western countries, safety is paramount for passenger services and trains will be delayed but safety will hardly ever be compromised. I understand the volume of traffic is much higher in India but we can do better with our work culture if we want to get anywhere close to the safety which Japan and Western countries have attained in travel. And this applies to flights and roadways as well, not just IR.

Agree
The people who are ruling are doing nothing except wasting the hard earned money of tax payers for their luxury and useless concepts/stuffs.
South India and Tax Payers should think about this who are paying loads of money directly to the government.

And Hindi belt should realize that you all are culturally and politically powerful yet poor, whenever an accident will happen
...

your people will die en masse in those General and Sleeper coaches. Think ten times before electing people who are going to rule you, check how much your income increased in last 10 years but also how many economic relaxations were snatched from you.

An absolute mismanagement and chaos is happening in IR since last couple of years.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
