(TA 912) allowing the driver to proceed despite red signals. The automatic signaling system had been defective since 5:50 am on Monday, and the station master's decision to issue TA 912 is being investigated. The Kanchanjunga Express departed Rangapani station at 8:27 am and stopped for unknown reasons between Ranipatra and Chattar Hat Junction. The goods train departed Rangapani at 8:42 am and collided with the Kanchanjunga Express at 8:55 am. Initially, the Railway Board blamed the goods train driver, but the Indian Railway Loco Runningmen Organisation (IRLRO) disputed this claim, stating that the driver was authorized to pass red signals. The IRLRO emphasized that the blame lies with the railway administration, not the driver.

Monday ko West Bengal mein Kanchanjunga Express aur ek goods train ki takkar ho gayi, jisse kai coaches derail ho gaye aur kaafi nuksan hua. Jaanch mein pata chala ki goods train ke driver ko automatic signaling system ke fail hone ki wajah se red signals pass karne ki permission thi....

Ranipatra ke station master ne ek written authority (TA 912) issue ki thi jisse driver ko red signals ke bawajood aage badhne ki permission thi. Automatic signaling system Monday subah 5:50 se hi kharab tha aur station master ke TA 912 issue karne ke decision ki jaanch ki ja rahi hai. Kanchanjunga Express Rangapani station se subah 8:27 pe chali thi aur Ranipatra aur Chattar Hat Junction ke beech unknown reasons ki wajah se ruk gayi. Goods train subah 8:42 pe Rangapani se chali thi aur 8:55 pe Kanchanjunga Express se takkar ho gayi. Pehle Railway Board ne goods train ke driver ko blame kiya tha, lekin Indian Railway Loco Runningmen Organisation (IRLRO) ne is claim ko reject kiya aur kaha ki driver ko red signals pass karne ki permission thi. IRLRO ne yeh bhi kaha ki blame railway administration pe hai, driver pe nahi.

There is an error in the above News report . Please read "Ranipatra" as "RNI/Rangapani". Rest holds good.
