Exactly one month has passed since that terrible day when a disastrous chain of events led to one of the biggest train accidents in modern time.

The name of Bahanaga Bazar has been now added in an infamous list with stations like Gaisal, and will forever etched in infamy

However...
more...

what has followed is a sequence of near mishaps every alternate day. Even today Pawan Express had a severe issue in it's coaches...

We also had a severe collision between two freights in Ondagram station in Adra division.

This trend is most worrying and IR's safety record has completely gone down the drain...

My prayers lie with the families of the innocent travelers who had just wished to reach their destinations but met their untimely end!

Bahanaga Bazar should have been remembered as an terrible mishaps and IR should have taken it a Border Line incident and taken all steps to ensure that just an incident shouldn't get a chance to repeat itself, instead what followed was near-daily close calls and a culmination with the freight accident at Ondagram!

Let us not let Bahanaga get lost in sands of time, and let it be an example to haunt and motivate us to keep criticizing all the lax practices of IR that may have culminated in a terrible tragedy that causes the untimely and unfortunate loss of so many lives !
