More than 70 in derailed and fouling coaches, killed by a train rushing on adjacent track 28 May 2010

The death of 70 persons in Midnapore is avoidable had there been just a minute of gap between the crossing of goods train at the location of derailment, if only ACDs are available on the trains.

There is no other international technology available at any cost to address this type of accident to protect lives, except ACD.

All of Railway Board are well aware of the proven functionalities of the ACD.

It is a pity all the more that ultimately the very person who initiated ACD, Mamata Didi in 2000 , is unable to get benefit of the same. Her own people in Midnapore could have been saved.

It is pity and karma of my countrymen that all good people look so helpless tied with strings and tapes of files, while lives are lost.

Whatever chance we can give for people to survive we should strive to give.

Else it is the greatest disservice to our nation, that too in an organised manner.

May the souls rest in peace.
