An inquiry has been ordered and compensation will be paid. What more can Indians ask for? Surely we can't ask for those responsible to lose their jobs for the loss of lives caused - that would be inhuman. Let people die, we can have the inquiries and we can pay compensation and Indians will be happy with that.

Tough action should be taken against Railway official who are responsible for the unfortunate incident and the officers responsible for this must be charge sheeted for attempt to murder. It became the practice of Indian railways to change platform at a very short notice. If it is necessary to change the platform in an emergency case then it should be announced at-least 30 minutes prior to the arrival of train and the train has to be given extra halting time and this all should be made clear to travelers.but who cares madam mamta is busy in w.b. .I will again want to mention "THE OFFICERS RESPONSIBLE MUST BE CHARGE SHEETED."

Yes I agree with your point of view Mr.Sachin Kumar. In India there is no value for human lives.The tragedy happened due to the improper planning of the railway officials.They could have given advance intimation, atleast 45 minitues, to avoid those unwanted things. Hence the railway official responsible for the unfortunate should be charge sheeted.

That is the only solution available with the Government. But such happenings can to a great be avoided with proper management of the systems. So people whose carelessness has brought about this stampede should booked. If we can attack the root of the problems then such issues will not arise.

Thanks for invite Sachin,

It is neither sufficient nor desirable to pay money from public accounts and make it appear as though a donation from an individual's purse is being doled out as magnanimity.

Compensation at best could be a cost linked to admission of an erroneous situation that could not be prevented in spite of best efforts. And by this definition there should never be a repeat for same reason. The same applies to the costs incurred on enquiries.  

Yet the bitter truth is no one cares as this is public money in the hands of individuals who are never ever asked questions.

And it is for this reason that "HAZARD PREVENTION" is not encouraged to become a subject in our country as such measures would prevent chaos in process management and affix accountability in each process.

its really a serious issue and taken care in such a way that it should not be repeated. steps must be taken to control entry and exit at railway stations. traffic at stations must be controlled. if some extra traffic is seen that day extra care should be taken.

Not at all sufficient...IMMEDIATE action must be taken against the error and rectified once and for all. It is no one's business to play with people's lives like this.

Sachin thank you for bringing up the topic. If I may say the price of Mango this season is very less as compared to other season when the production is equal or less than the demand.

Similarly in India the price of human being is being weigh in kilos since they are available in abundance and our ignrant people have very short memories so one can do away with murders in this country.

Who will take tough action against the people responsible for such mishap since the minister concerned is staying in Kolkata. More you say more you feel bad for the huge population of this country. I am not going into the details of Bhopal.

Mr. Sachin it is a big NO but if you remember one thing that the more you have something the less you care for it. If you have more money you care less while spending it. If you have more land you will care less for using it professionally. Same applies to population. You have more of it that is why our politicians care less for them. Other wise do you think in any civilised country a tragedy of the magnitude of Bhopal Gas could have gone scot free and the CEO could have gone out of the country with out being even tried professionally. In the last 60 years we have been ruled for more than 50 years by congress and they have very contemptiously ruled the nation. Without caring for those who have put them in the chair. They are following the same old fashioned way of ruling. This time one change is there the PM is a puppet PM. I think I've gone a bit to away from the topic. I am sorry for that.

It is a routine action of the government and they enjoy to follow this. They never take preventive measures to avoid the accidents in future. In fact there is a mistake on our part that we don't protest strongly these actions otherwise it can be changed. You can't compensate a life with rupees. Thousands of inquiries are pending and no body is interested in the results. In last few accidents Mamta Banerjee gave such statements which are to be opposed strongly. But who cares?. Manmohan ji is interested in saving the government not in the nation and citizens.

no there must be some measures to be taken to avoid this kind of accidents today and then we need to improve the security to the railway tracks by continuously monitoring and of course we need to upgrade the technology used for signaling to avoid the unnecessary things

HI SACHIN.

MANY IN THE CURRENT GENERATION MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE FACT THERE WAS A PERSON NAMED LAL BAHADUR SHASTRI, WHO WAS OUR PRIME MINISTER ONCE.WHEN HE WAS  THE RAILWAY MINISTER, HE OWNED UP MORAL RESPONSIBILITY AND TENDERED HIS RESIGNATION FOR AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURED IN REMOTE TAMILNADU.SADLY TODAY`S RAILWAY MINISTER IS MORE WORRIED ABOUT OPERATING FROM HER HOME TOWN THAN ABOUT ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE.
