Human Error, Not Sabotage Led to Deadly Balasore Train Accident That Killed Over 290, Suggests Rly Report

News 18  

Ruling out the possibility of “sabotage” as suggested by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw during the initial days of inquiry, the Commissioner of Railway Safety has claimed that it was human error that led to the deadly Balasore train accident, officials aware of the development told News18. In June, News18 had also reported that at least 55 per cent of the train accidents that took place between 2017-18 and 2021-22 were because of the error of railway staff. At Least 7 Senior Officials Moved Out of SER Even as initially the Railway Ministry hinted at intentional manipulation of signals to be the reason behind the mishap, within a month of the incident, it has moved at least seven senior most officials from the South Eastern Railway under which the incident took place. On June 23, when five senior officials, including Kharagpur Divisional Railway Manager and Principal Chief Safety Officer, were moved, News18 had said more action will be taken in the coming days and last week, even the General Manager of South Eastern Railway was transferred.
