PROBABLE MYSTERIES BEHIND THE TRAIN ACCIDENT AT SAINTHIA !!!

Fatikchand: - Hey Arindam, after seeing the spelling of the place ‘Sainthia’ and hearing the pronunciation of that place, I have now learnt the real pronunciation of your surname ‘Sain’. In your surname, the letter ‘n’ remains silent and is used as ‘Chandrabindu’ in Bengali. But, the local people of Sainthia have witnessed a tragic train accident after the Gaisal tragedy.

Arindam: - Yeah, indeed it is a very tragic one. One compartment has totally gone up in the air to hit the nearby over bridge of the Sainthia station. The death toll has now increased to 69. No one knows how many more passengers have died in that accident.

Rimjhim: - But, how that accident happened is still a mystery! Vivek Sahay had said that the driver has not obeyed the signal and drove the train at a speed of 90 Km per hour to enter Sainthia station.

Sukanya: - That means the signal was red? But, as per the preliminary CID investigation, some officials have got the information that the signal was green. The Vananchal Express was instructed to leave the Sainthia station. Even the Vananchal train started moving, but, some passengers pulled the chain to get down with the sacks of red chilies.

Fatikchand: - Hey, have you people listened to that news that Mamata Banerjee alleged this accident as a foul play by the Maoists. But the Home Ministry confirmed that the accident happened due to either human error or mechanical faults.

Arindam: - There is no doubt about the fact that this accident is the outcome of either human error or mechanical fault. But, someone is telling the lie. The problem for the investigation will be the death of those drivers of Uttarbanga express. The mystery remained with them only. But, still, during their post-mortem, if the forensic department scans their brain minutely, then a rough idea can be made about their psychological status before the accident. The conditions of their ‘brain-nerves’ before their death will give a lot of information about the accident. I have never heard in my life that a train driver drove the train towards the station despite seeing the red signal. How funny it sounds! Moreover, the drivers of Uttarbanga express were not the newly recruited ones. They were experienced drivers of Indian Railways.

Sukanya: - Why these trains do not have anti-collision devices?

Fatikchand: - The Railway Board people have said that the anti-collision devices are too costly and there are no proofs that these anti-collision devices will be a fruitful device to prevent major train accidents.

Sukanya: - before doing the experiment, they are coming to the conclusion that the grapes are sour. Really, that’s why, it is Indian Railways. There should be a very high-level investigation to find out the mysteries behind this Sainthia accident.

Arindam: - My sixth sense is saying something else. You people may laugh or criticize me, but, somehow, I can see what may have actually happened. The Vananchal Express was standing in Sainthia platform. There were no tracks available for the Uttarbanga Express to halt at Sainthia station. The Station Master may have instructed the drivers of Uttarbanga Express to gallop through the Sainthia Junction by taking another track. Maybe, that’s why, the drivers of Uttarbanga increased their speed to gallop through the junction. Then the biggest question is that where it actually may have went wrong. In earlier days, the trains were diverted to other tracks by mechanical process. But, nowadays, it is totally automated. Somehow, the Uttarbanga Express train was not diverted to the other track automatically. The station master of Sainthia was confident that the Uttarbanga Express will gallop through the other track as per the signal given. Even the drivers of Uttarbanga Express knew that their train will gallop through the other track. But both the station master and the Uttarbanga Express drivers were not aware that the track has not been diverted automatically. When the station master saw the Uttarbanga Express train running on the same track on which the Vananchal Express is standing, he just panicked and announced, ‘Please stay away from the Sainthia platform. A major accident can take place’. These can be the “PROBABLE MYSTERIES BEHIND THE TRAIN ACCIDENT AT SAINTHIA”. Let us wait and see what report comes out in the high-level investigations regarding this train accident.
