UP/DOWN movement completely affected. According to railway sources, Train No. 12578 Mysuru-Darbhanga, Bagmati Express was given a green signal to pass through the main line. However, the train speeding at 109 kmph entered the loop line and collided with the rear of a goods train stabled there.

Train signaled green on mainline, but dashed a stabled goods train on loop line. Eerie similarity with #Balasore mode. However, details are yet to emerge. The jerk reported is easily explained, experts say, “when train moving at #highspeed enters a loop, it will experience #violent-jerk. Time that #honest-enquiry is done and #responsibility truly fixed”.

“#IndianRailways has paid a very heavy price in continuing protection of #KMG & #AIDS, time honest and clear headed back to basics implemented. #Railways cannot run just on #contracts. #KMG deeds will keep haunting the nation for 25-30 years now”.

#Modi ji, convey the message that no #responsibility without #accountability. The manipulations of #KMG needs to be called out and punished. Otherwise you will continue to be given poor advise. Eg, #Kavach cannot prevent #accidents like Balasore where wiring is problem (remember #Samlaiya which you attended as Chief Minister and Lalu Prasad Yadav as Minister for Railways-2005, #Harchandpur-2018, #Balasore-2023 which you attended as Prime Minister), so what will Kavach do? PLEASE get #competent people who can tell you the truth. Wait for detailed analysis…
