This is just the cheapest form of politics. Politicians and administration running away from their responsibilities instead of fixing shortcomings. The whole automatic signalling was not working , due to which paper based signalling was followed. Complications in this manual system led to the accident. The loco pilot cannot be blamed for this right? Not even one news channel talking about the signalling failure because they are sellouts to the BJP tbh, no offense. This damages the image of the esteemed RM. They want to take credit for achievements but simply don't want to work on shortcomings. Irrespective of your politics and affiliation, just that these things which involve passenger safety shouldn't be toyed around like this.

Yeah, looks like that. Take for example Katihar-Purnea section. It says as 20 trains per day, that's like less than a train per hour. Still utilisation is above 100%
