CRS probe into Balasore train tragedy: Five rail employees under scanner

The Hindu  

Five railway employees, including the station master of Bahanaga Bazar, are being investigated in connection with the three-train accident in Odisha's Balasore district that claimed 288 lives, official sources said on Monday. The sources said the five employees are discharging their duties at present and any future action would depend on the accident probe report prepared by the Commissioner of Railway Safety. In a joint statement, the general secretaries of the All India Railwaymen' Federation and the National Federation of Indian Railwaymen said that they were "anguished" how the train tragedy has been "politicised". "Whether it is the track man who patrols the track day and night, facing inclement weather or hangs from bridge girders for repairs, or the loco pilot who maintains a steadfast vigil for more than 10 hours and more, eyes glued to the track and signals, almost stationary in a small loco cabin, or the points persons who assiduously monitor yard operations.each puts himself at peril in his line of duty," the joint statement read.
