Kanpur Train Tragedy - Tragic reminder of inapt priorities in India

Deeply pained and saddened to hear about the derailment of the Patna Indore express that has claimed so many lives. My condolences to the bereaved families. I pray for speedy recovery of those injured in the accident of Patna-Indore express.

While i was waking up to enjoy a beautiful sunday with my loved ones , Many Families were destroyed Many people were dead ,( As I am writing this, the Number had reached 140) and some taking their last breath. Their last journey....

The disaster took place just a little after 0300 hrs when the passengers were jolted out of their sleep as the Patna-bound train jumped the tracks, badly damaging four ordinary sleeper coaches in which hundreds were trapped. 

Of the four coaches, the S1 and S2 had telescoped into each other, I am Yet to Understand who excactly responsible for more than 100 innocents who got killed in this tragic incident even after i have heard many such incidents in past years, when we rightfully react when any Indian soldier is killed. But, are Only soldiers are humans and those people were not?

Patna Indore Express Tragedy serves as a tragic reminder of inapt priorities before we look out for Bullet Trains, when some people are Dreaming of bullet train, here people die while they are asleep.

Even this Terrible news and incident  had a chance for politicians to politicise the incident and they will do so always. Blaming every thing under sun but they themselves. There was also Appalling and Horrifying news of Victims / survivors getting old currency notes of Rs 500/1000 as 'immediate Relief". Why not deposit compensation amount directly in their bank or Jan Dhan A/cs? Why pay cash, old or new notes?

After every train accident Rail minister or PM announce 2 or 3 lacs as compensation, when a bread winner of family member dies 2 or 3 lacs will never solve the financial problem of the remaining. Apart from compensation Railway Ministry shall give job to a direct relative of the victims family,or  monthly fund shall be granted.

May the Almighty Bless us All.
