Railway minister should resign.

In that case road and transport minister should change every day.

 

Also collision occurred due to derailment. Doubt anti-collision system could have done much.

So the system was designed to prevent only head on collisions. Why didn't they take train derailments into consideration when they are such a frequent occurrence.

 

Why are our quality requirements so weak. Even last year we lost so many live due the bridge collapse in Gujarat.

 

Why do we have to sacrifice so many lives before we correct the mistakes. Where is the foresight to prevent these mishaps.

For those saying don't ask for resignation, 

An inquiry cannot be unbiased if the same minister and officers are in charge. They can be grilled only when they are not entitled to any protocols.

So yeah they are responsible & there has to be a accountability as well.

Quality requirements...lmao...

 

Quality and India are oxymorons. The savings mindset will never allow high tech to come to India.

 how is that going to solve anything.

 

Will it solve outdated and rusty tracks which railways have not replaced, what was so called modern saftey system Kavach doing?  Is this not the scenario when this system should have activated itself and atleast stopped one train.

It will put pressure on the next one to focus on avoiding such incidents. .

One train collided with the parked goods train on the same line, which was not supposed to be and can be avoided by a system like Kavach.

The derailed bogies were then hit by a speeding SF train from the opposite direction. This could not have been prevented by Kavach

Wasn't that his job? He should resign because of imcompetence and to prevent future disasters.

I was thinking of a parallel to compare...let us say in aviation, the air traffic controller software/machine is working fine, but the air traffic controller personnel make the aircrafts crash/collide due to negligence/mal-intent.... should the aviation minister resign in this case?

Yes. should resign. Otherwise it leaves way to get away with such incidents for the minister.
