Laaloo Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 This is *ing sad on so many *ing levels. Heads need to be rolled.

Not saying people are blameless or organisers are blameless, but as some people were saying request has been made to railway to stop train for 2-3 hours. They should had definitely looked at that UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunate coincidence is that they set fire to the ravan minutes before the arrival of that train and the asked the crowd to move back a little before setting the effigy on fire Under_Score, UrmiSinhaRay and beetle 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trichromatic Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Quote "We burnt the Ravan effigies at six places today. Most of them were near the railway track. They (railway authorities) should have at least issued directions to slow down the speed of the train. Such a big mistake," Sidhu told a media channel from a hospital where the injured were taken.

Number Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The organiser Madaan said he had not approached the railways for permission or informed them about the event on Vijayadashami when the effigy of Ravan is burnt. “Our function had nothing to do with the railways.

nikred Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Why have it anywhere near the railway tracks in the first place? Couldn't they do it in a risk free open space? This was a very easily avoidable tragedy. Sad. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk UrmiSinhaRay and beetle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigg Brother Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Dushera celebrations are always organized at grounds with Railway tracks around.Even here in Gujarat,in many cities it always takes place in ground near Railway tracks but there is always fencing between Railway tracks and the ground. People were standing on railway tracks just because so they can have better view and can record it from very far distance. It is totally foolish to stand on railway tracks,there is always bare place between 2 tracks where they can stand even if they want to.Life is so much cheap in India atleast for common man and our media have found a much needed news,keeps showing same video again and again which is very disturbing to watch.

He'd lose his job and be prosecuted if he did random things with Railways infra on every tom's request, that is assuming anyone outside of the official channels approached him which i doubt happened. Main event doesn't have any permission but they had plans in advance for stopping train Since the public needs freedom of religion and roads and waterbodies anyways are fecked up, trains are already under the radar with this incident, lets shut down airports too on our festivals and use them for xyz purpose. I suggest fireworks in the enclosed area including runway. Edited October 21, 2018 by Clarke UrmiSinhaRay and beetle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordPrabhzy Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The problem is there is a basic regards for rules by general population in India, couple that with; 1. Stupidly of organisers to hold this near a rail track ( which is not fenced out- i mean why would it, all the jhuggi population of india uses rail tracks for their morning tatti so why would they) WITHOUT a permit- see opening line. 2. The selfie craze of people who will do anything for a good picture. TBH i do not see any blame on the part of the Government or the Railways. It the fault of the organisers and the people attending themselves. I would be very angry if public money is used to 'compensate' the victims families purely due to their own foolishness.

beetle Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) INDIA Amritsar train tragedy: Applied emergency brakes but wasn’t able to prevent casualties, says driver NEW DELHI: The driver of the DMU train, which was involved in the tragic accident in Amritsar , said on Sunday that he did apply the emergency breaks and honked to disperse the crowd assembled on the track. However, he was unable to prevent the causalities, reported news agency ANI. In a letter, the train driver, Arvind Kumar, said that as the train was about to stop, after he applied the emergency brakes, a mob started pelting stones on the train. "Keeping in mind the security of the passengers on board the train, I did not stop the train and stopped only after reaching the ASR station," he said. https://m.timesofindia.com/india/amritsar-train-tragedy-applied-emergency-brakes-but-wasnt-able-to-prevent-casualties-says-driver/amp_articleshow/66304043.cms Edited October 21, 2018 by beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
