Imagine how many lives could have been saved if Thousands of Crores being spent on "Station Beautifications" were instead used to first deploy Kavach system.

Imagine how many lives could have been saved if instead of Thousands of Crores being spent on electrification of even remote area slow routes just to achieve "100% electrification" the funds were diverted to deploy Kavach system at least on the 130+kmph routes on priority.

This regime has been decent on infrastructure be it Roads or Rail, I see how fast they eliminated Unmanned Level Crossings, I see finally we are getting Dedicated Freight Corridors, I have seen how large scale doubling is going on finally addressing the decades old issue of congestion, I have seen how our trains and railway stations are much cleaner in the recent years. So Im sure if they put the same grit and determination in installing Kavach on a war footing they can put a permanent full stop to these accidents too.

As a frequent traveller in trains for the past 30+ years this accident breaks my heart.

I lost my dad during the COVID waves of 2021 and unfortunately I know what it feels to lose a loved one suddenly out of nowhere.

The general public will forget this accident in a couple of days or weeks, they will move on to the next big news like a cricket match, elections or a movie controversy. People have their own lives to worry about too.

But not those affected personally here.
Seeing numbers like 300+ dead is depressing, every single one of them had a story. Maybe a wife running the show back at home, a mother praying for their safety, a brother looking forward to meet and playfully fight with his sibling again or maybe just a son like me waiting for his father to come back and enter the house through the main door.

Everything is disrupted for them, the remainder of the lives of these families will not be the same. They will not look at trains the same way. Every sight of a train they see anywhere in their lives will be a reminder of their beloved family member who suffered cruelly in their last moments and were taken away from their lives without saying goodbye.

I am not very active on this forum, just have an account because I dearly love trains and travel by them regularly and like to check news and developments once every few days.
How and why I love the Indian Railways you ask? My father was a Government servant and travelled a lot across the country on work. We as a family too would travel by railways to wherever he was working whenever we had long weekends and vacations. So you can call it good old times or nostaliga.
Maybe many of you have some reason too for your love of trains, would love if you shared them with others here in this dark moment.

Long Live Indian Railways.
