Good : But not Great !



Economic Times ( 08 Sept ) carries a report titled :




“ Rail Minister Goyal Reviews Safety Issues “



Minister issued following directions to the officials :


·         Remove all 4,000 unmanned railway level crossings within a year


·         Stop manufacture of unsafe ICF coaches and instead go for safer LHB coaches


·         All track replacements should be given priority and the rails earmarked for constructing new lines should be diverted to stretches which are prone to accidents and where replacement is due


·         Expedite the procurement of new rails on a large scale


·         Install anti-fog LED lights in locomotives





Without doubt these measures will improve the railway’s safety record


But , far from enough !


To save 15,000 lives every year , I urge Shri Goyal to challenge our scientists to implement my following suggestion :
