When I heard news, DERAILMENT OF 50106 UP
SAWANTWADI – DIVA PASSENGER TRAIN BETWEEN SAVARDA – KAMATHE STATION NEAR
CHIPLUN, I stunned…!!
Diva Passenger Train coming towards Mumbai, first 3 Coaches of the train derailed between Savarda & Kamathe Station atleast 19 passengers were killed and more than 100 injured when the engine and coaches of a passenger train derailed.
As we all know Diva passenger is one of crowded train on this
route, so we can imagine the situation at the time of mishap happened.
For rescue operation which happened we must thanks to local villagers who came forward and help passengers, police officers, railway rescue workers and co- passengers.
The Railway Officers ordered an inquiry and
Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge announced of Rs 2 lakh for the relatives of
those killed in the accident, Rs 50,000 for the grievously injured and Rs
10,000 for those with minor injuries.
We heard many of stories in next day in news paper and feel condolence for those who lost their lives, but this is not enough have we thought how this happened? Some says this is because of over speed of railway engine, some says there was a crack on track and railway derailed because of this, some says because of heat rail track got cracked and derail happened.
Residents of nearby villages were the first to reach the spot, followed by fire brigade and railway officers. Injured were admitted to Roha, Nagothane, Panvel and Mumbai hospitals. Most of uninjured passengers walk down the track to reach next station. Konkan Railway remain stopped for about a day during that time railway arranged extra ST buses for convenience of passengers in konkan.
We can only pray that such incidences must not happened in future anywhere and be alert while travelling.
Be Vigilant Be Safe!!
