Report says incident was 'waiting to happen', flags lack of counselling of LPS

Lapses found at multiple levels in managing ops

The Commission of Railway Safety on Tuesday said the Kanchanjunga express accident was waiting to happen, owing to lapses in managing train operations in automatic signal zones, and inadequate counselling of loco pilots (LPS) and station masters.

In its June 17 accident probe report that left 10 persons dead, the Commission of Railway Safety (CRS) recommended implementation of the Automatic Train-protection system (KAVACH) on top priority.

The commission said wrong paper authority or T/A 912 to cross defective signals was issued to the loco pilot of the goods train involved by authorities concerned. Further, the paper authority didn't mention the speed that the goods train driver was supposed to follow while crossing the defective signal.
