A goods train collided with the Kanchanjunga Express in West Bengal on Monday, derailing several coaches and causing casualties. An investigation revealed that the goods train driver was authorized to pass red signals due to a failure in the automatic signaling system. The station master at Ranipatra issued a written authority...

(TA 912) allowing the driver to proceed despite red signals. The automatic signaling system had been defective since 5:50 am on Monday, and the station master's decision to issue TA 912 is being investigated. The Kanchanjunga Express departed Rangapani station at 8:27 am and stopped for unknown reasons between Ranipatra and Chattar Hat Junction. The goods train departed Rangapani at 8:42 am and collided with the Kanchanjunga Express at 8:55 am. Initially, the Railway Board blamed the goods train driver, but the Indian Railway Loco Runningmen Organisation (IRLRO) disputed this claim, stating that the driver was authorized to pass red signals. The IRLRO emphasized that the blame lies with the railway administration, not the driver.

मास्टर ने एक लिखित अधिकार (टीए 912) जारी किया था जिससे चालक को लाल सिग्नल के बावजूद आगे बढ़ने की अनुमति थी। स्वचालित सिग्नलिंग सिस्टम सोमवार सुबह 5:50 से खराब था और स्टेशन मास्टर के टीए 912 जारी करने के निर्णय की जाँच की जा रही है। कंचनजंगा एक्सप्रेस रांगापानी स्टेशन से सुबह 8:27 बजे चली थी और रानीपटरा और चट्टार हट जंक्शन के बीच अज्ञात कारणों से रुक गई। मालगाड़ी सुबह 8:42 बजे रांगापानी से चली थी और 8:55 बजे कंचनजंगा एक्सप्रेस से टकरा गई। पहले रेलवे बोर्ड ने मालगाड़ी के चालक को दोषी ठहराया था, लेकिन इंडियन रेलवे लोको रनिंगमैन ऑर्गेनाइजेशन (आईआरएलआरओ) ने इस दावे का खंडन किया और कहा कि चालक को लाल सिग्नल पार करने की अनुमति थी। आईआरएलआरओ ने यह भी कहा कि दोष रेलवे प्रशासन पर है, चालक पर नहीं।

Ranipatra ke station master ne ek written authority (TA 912) issue ki thi jisse driver ko red signals ke bawajood aage badhne ki permission thi. Automatic signaling system Monday subah 5:50 se hi kharab tha aur station master ke TA 912 issue karne ke decision ki jaanch ki ja rahi hai. Kanchanjunga Express Rangapani station se subah 8:27 pe chali thi aur Ranipatra aur Chattar Hat Junction ke beech unknown reasons ki wajah se ruk gayi. Goods train subah 8:42 pe Rangapani se chali thi aur 8:55 pe Kanchanjunga Express se takkar ho gayi. Pehle Railway Board ne goods train ke driver ko blame kiya tha, lekin Indian Railway Loco Runningmen Organisation (IRLRO) ne is claim ko reject kiya aur kaha ki driver ko red signals pass karne ki permission thi. IRLRO ne yeh bhi kaha ki blame railway administration pe hai, driver pe nahi.

On June 17, a goods train collided with the rear of the Kanchanjunga Express between Rangapani and Chattar Hat stations on the Northeast Frontier Railway in West Bengal. The goods train had been given a Travel Authority (TA-912) to pass all signals in red due to a signal failure. However,...
more...
the Kanchanjunga Express was also given the same authority and had stopped at signal (AS-650) before the collision. The goods train was travelling at approximately 45 kmph at the time of the accident. The cause of the signal failure was attributed to lightning and thunderstorms. The incident is currently under investigation, with the Commissioner of Railway Safety conducting a detailed inquiry. The locopilot of the goods train violated speed restrictions, as he was required to travel at 15 kmph with caution, looking for obstructions. The incident is being investigated by the Commissioner of Railway Safety.

17 जून को, रांगापानी और चतर हट स्टेशनों के बीच पूर्वोत्तर सीमांत रेलवे, पश्चिम बंगाल में, एक मालगाड़ी, कंचनजंगा एक्सप्रेस के पीछे जाकर दुर्घटनाग्रस्त हो गई। सिग्नल फेल होने के कारण, मालगाड़ी को यात्रा प्राधिकरण (टीए-912) दिया गया था, जिससे वह सभी लाल सिग्नलों को पार कर सकता था। ...
more...
लेकिन, कंचनजंगा एक्सप्रेस को भी ऐसा ही अधिकार दिया गया था और वह सिग्नल (एएस-650) पर दुर्घटना से पहले रुक गया था। मालगाड़ी दुर्घटना के समय लगभग 45 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे की गति से चल रही थी। सिग्नल फेल होने का कारण बिजली गिरने और गरज के साथ बारिश को बताया गया है। इस घटना की जांच रेलवे सुरक्षा आयुक्त कर रहे हैं। मालगाड़ी का लोकोपायलट गति सीमा का उल्लंघन किया, क्योंकि उसे 15 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे की गति से, सावधान रहते हुए, किसी भी अवरोध को देखते हुए चलना चाहिए था। रेलवे सुरक्षा आयुक्त इस घटना की जाँच कर रहे हैं।

sakta tha. Lekin, Kanchanjunga Express ko bhi aisa hi authority diya gaya tha aur woh signal (AS-650) par ruk gaya tha, accident se pehle. Goods train accident ke time almost 45 kmph ki speed se chal raha tha. Signal failure ka reason lightning aur thunderstorms ko bataya gaya hai. Is incident ki investigation Commissioner of Railway Safety kar rahe hain. Goods train ka locopilot speed restrictions ko violate kiya, kyunki use 15 kmph ki speed se, saawdhan rahte hue, kisi bhi obstruction ko dekhte hue chalna chahiye tha. Commissioner of Railway Safety is incident ki jaanch kar rahe hain.
