West Bengal Kanchanjunga Train Accident: Top Railway Official Calls For Enhanced ‘Kavach’ Safety
In a tragic train collision near Rangapani station, eight people have lost their lives, and 25 others have sustained injuries.
Jaya Varma Sinha, Chairman and CEO of the Railway Board, stated that preliminary investigations suggest human error as the cause, indicating a possible case of signal disregard.
She emphasized the need for the proliferation of Kavach, an automatic train protection system, across West Bengal to prevent such incidents in the future.
Following the Kanchenjunga Express train accident, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticised the Railway Ministry for neglecting passenger amenities and the well-being of railway employees, including officials, engineers, technical staff, and workers. She highlighted that their old pension has been withdrawn and accused the government of focusing more on elections and manipulation rather than governance. Congress leader Pawan Khera also condemned the government, pointing out the recurring nature of such tragic incidents and accusing the ministry of not learning from past mistakes. He criticised the ministers for visiting the incident site primarily for publicity and emphasised that in the past, leaders from his party would resign after such accidents, setting a standard of accountability.

Recent bypolls across seven Indian states resulted in significant gains for the opposition INDIA bloc, which won 10 out of 13 assembly seats. The Congress party secured victories in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, while the Trinamool Congress swept all four seats in West Bengal. The BJP won two seats, including one in Madhya Pradesh. These results are seen as a boost for the opposition and may indicate shifting political dynamics ahead of future elections.
