system defects not corrected even after big accidents-cause of accident put on "Act of God"

In 1979 one local train rammed behind other train standing at sion station.
motorman was Mr. H Dey.

A train above train was the situation at Sion.

CRS church gate conducted an inquiry in which many lives were lost and concluded that it was the "Act of God" since motorman died in that accident.

Railways have not provided for an assistant driver in suburban trains.

Motorman H. Dey is reported to have suffered an heart attack or has become incapacitated due to some other reason and train kept it journey and finally rammed in the train ahead.

There is a device that is called dead man handle which is supposed to apply emergency brake and stop the train when some thing happens to the motorman.

but that did not happen not because the device mal functioned but because it is defective in design.

The issue here is that even after such a big accident the device is there as it is and no changes were made to device or the device should have been discarded. (even 20 years later).

The railways do not any thing except an eye wash.

so i feel that the railway board be abolished immediately.

Simple Logic: had an assistant driver been there he would not only had provided medical aid to the motorman Mr. H. Dey but also the accident would not have occoured.

but putting the blame on "act of God" they prevented any improvement in the system.

since they do not want to do any thing.
