Odisha train crash: Audit report last year flagged multiple shortcomings. 10 points

Hindustan Times  

While Union railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday said the “root cause” of the deadly triple train accident in Odisha's Balasore district has been identified, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge pointed out the Parliamentary Standing Committee's 323rd report which criticised the railways for the “disregard” shown by the railway board towards the recommendations of the Commission of Railway Safety. In its 2022 report, ‘Derailment in Indian Railways’, the Comptroller and Auditor General, held the engineering department of Indian Railways responsible for the majority of derailments. Analysis of 1,129 ‘Inquiry Reports’ of derailment accidents in 16 Zonal Railways revealed 24 factors responsible for derailments in the selected cases/accidents. In 63 per cent cases, the ‘inquiry reports’ were not submitted to the accepting authority within the prescribed time schedule.
