Kanchanjunga Express accident: Initial probe blames lapses by goods train crew, Jalpaiguri division’s operating department

The Hindu  

The initial probe into the June 17 Kanchanjunga Express accident has suggested there were lapses by the operating department of the New Jalpaiguri Rail Division and the crew of the goods train that hit the passenger train. The collision occurred near Rangapani station, 30 km from New Jalpaiguri station, causing four rear compartments of Kanchanjunga Express to derail due to the impact by the goods train's locomotive at 8.55 a.m., the official said. While five officials have blamed the goods train driver for violating signals as well as the speed restriction, one has given a dissenting note suggesting that the operating department of the New Jalpaiguri rail division failed to take adequate measures to safeguard the route between Ranipatra and Chattar Hat Junction. Giving details on what happened before the accident, the probe report said that the Kanchanjunga Express departed from Ranipatra station at 8:27 a.m. on June 17 with two authority letters 'T/A 912 and T369.
