Here they are not adhering to standard protocol of bringing the loco to dead stop before attaching at slow speed as being meticulously done in northern states. With recent spates of accidents involving staff being hit by loco on the rise, this will not come as a surprise. Only in Kerala such incidents are reported. Higher ups in the command chain must ensure that loco attachment rules are strictly adhered to at all levels of organization structure.
