"DEAD ZONE" CHITHERI,.
The villege Chitheri, near Arakkonam will remain etched in railway official's memory as "Dead Zone" fore ever. In less than two years, rail accidents there have claimed a dozen lives, includind the one lost in Wednes day's derailment of Muzzafarpur-Yeshwantpur exp.

CHITHERI Sep 2011 Accident.
The yesterdays derailment taken place barely 200 meters ahead of spot where Chennai beach- Vellore MEMU rammed into a stationary Arakkonam-Vellore passenger killing 10 passengers in September 2011.

Prior to 2011 incident, another accident involving a goods train was reported at CHITHERI, but no casualties were reported.

The local people say the track may not have been in good condition. The train may have derailed because of poor quality of rail or poor maintenance. There are more than five joints with in short distance on the rail. Railways have not taken efforts to change the rails. While a few local people suspect evil spell.

horrible!!!!!!! what might be the cause???????????????

I request members/admins to not use "Great" for photographs that depict "ACCIDENTS" i feel accidents are not something which should be considered "Great" and this is not a dig at someone but respecting the ones who are affected.

DERAILMENT Vs COLLISION
Between train derailment and train collision, which is the bigger VILLAN ?
It's Rail derailment according to Indian Express .
Between 2001 and 2011
People died following derailment 514
But Train collision deaths 467
People injured following derailment around 2000
People injured following train collision 1300
But death recorded along Level crossing 1560

The safety review committee constituted by the Ministry of Railways and headed by former chairman of Atomic Energy Commission Dr.Anil Kokodkar had found that, derailments constitute more than half of total accidents on Indian Railways.

I am feeling very horrible to see this destruction.

unga approachah parattren :P

The move by the Rly's in 2006 to allow wagons to carry load in excess of their capacity is a prime reason for wear and tear of the railway track.
-Mr Elangovan, Working President of Dakshin Railway Employees Union.

That's a very important point sir,which you have "highlighted".

The body of Mr.CHORAN BEDI aged 52, who died in the accident send to his native place in West Bengal by Gawahati express.

The Railways has restored train services in the Arakonnam-Katpadi sections. The Railway staff swung into action and repaired the tracks. The trains maintained speeds of 10 km/hr. Resumption of train services came as a huge relief to passengers.

All the 11 coaches of ill-fated Muzaffarpur-Yeswantpur Express would be dumped in scrap. Rly's would recover around Rs 55 lakhs by disposing of the scrap. The coaches would be sold through e-auction and recover Rs 5 lakhs per compartment.
Beside Rly would also claim Rs 3-4 lakhs as compensation for every damaged coach. In total, Rly's is likely to recover around Rs 4 crore from the damaged coaches though Rs 11.5 crore was spend.

from where u got this ?

I too read it in some news yesterday...

Railways is grossly under powered is what i read in a report submitted by a committee and i am sure if a "SAFETY AUDIT" is done,more such shocking facts would come to light.The problem is there is no accountability,everyone keeps passing the "BUCK" like musical chairs and the rate at which issues related to safety are implemented there would be a "MUZAFFARPUR - YESHWANTPUR" and when you question the Government and the Ministry.....they would Spin the story against you as if you are a some useless individual who has no other job to crucify them for not doing their job.In India life is cheap.The Railways....cares but not as much as it should be.
