KURNOOL- THE HINDU dated on 25th August2012.
" The driver of Bangalore -Nizamuddin express Rajdhani express train jumped the signal at ADONI railway station in the early hours of Friday causing flutter among the traffic control staff.He jumped the signal by six feet where he was to halt and give passage to Duranto express in the opposite direction.He was placed under suspension.
The traffic control wing took into control the driver for a medical check up and subsequent action "
Our view....
Railway board in its Letter number-2004/M(L)/466/7101 OF DATED 14 JUNE 2012 , Which was addressed to all Indian railways General Manager , should make efforts to implement the following--
Item E.Miss.suggestion
1.The signal sighting committees at super wiser level are not effective.Even the officer level committee conduct the inspection on mail/express and only sighting of signals on main line is addressed whereas those on the platform , loop lines go unattended.
2.Since in most of the SIGNAL PASSING AT DANGER (SPAD) cases drivers above 55 years are involved , the retirement age of LPs should be reduced to 55 years or they should be made CC/PRC/LI if they want to continue beyond 55 years.Another suggestion included making them super LP.
3.The maximum duty hours of mail/exp driver should reduced to 6 hours as they encounter one signal every minute on an average during their run.
Here all the three above items are not implemented and railway administration are in mute spectator. They should not want to impalement also .Why.? ..because what ever incident/Accident happens in railways.....officers are not going to remove / punished .Loco pilots are going to become scap goat for each and every fault.In this case loco pilots age are around 56-58 yrs.
It is a high time to Railways administration to implement the above three items immediately.We as AILRSA office bearer , discussed this matter on lower level but their are no positive reaction by Railway administration. This matter is under reconsideration in RLC/HYB... conciliation meeting on 31 August 2012.
Details of above incident---
