00:00So the world woke up to another train accident in India and this time around it happened in the West Bengal

00:05We are bringing you all the details of the West Bengal train accident

00:09we have traced the route map of the train that was

00:14Both the trains were following there

00:16we are you know the train started from Agartala going to Karinganj and was headed all the way to New Jalpaigudi and then

00:24This tragic accident happened when it was crossing New Jalpaigudi

00:29After that it was supposed to go to Malda then Bardhaman and then to Shialda. This was that route that Kanchanjunga

00:37train express was taking and it was rammed by another

00:43goods train. The whole episode of this particular

00:49Accident has raised a lot of questions and there are

00:55Commission of inquiry that is being worked upon there is something

01:01You know, the Indian Railways is looking at as of now rescue and relief is of utmost importance

01:08Government of India Prime Minister Modi also has announced

01:12Exgratia and relief for those injured and those who have passed away as of now

01:16The number that we have is 15 dead and 60 injured, but it is feared to increase all the more what?

01:25Comes to the fore as of now is the fact that

01:28Whenever we have accidents like these

01:31they

01:32the

01:34the number of people those who get either injured or those who

01:39Come under the impact of such kind of

01:44mishaps, this is something that

01:48Raises questions that whether we are able to mitigate the impact or not train collision

01:54Many experts say cannot be averted but there are several mechanisms

01:58Kavach is one aspect that is much talked about in the next video

02:02You will see how Kavach acts how Kavach performs and how it is able to avert accidents like these where one train

02:11Basically is stationary or is moving on a track and a second train ramps into it

02:16Look at this carriage that has gone above this

02:22The goods train this was the impact this shows the impact this was thankfully a parcel ban

02:27this was not a coach where people were there inside and that's why the

02:32Thankfully the death toll is less the locals immediately came to rescue even before the rescue train could come in

02:39These are the people living in the nearby villages

02:42in around

02:45New Jaipur area and

02:48If you look at the intensity, so though what happened was that the goods train

02:54Clearly did not stop at

02:57One of the

02:58the signals which is was meant to

03:01Reduce its speed and it kept on going on a high speed and the way things have all splattered across

03:08It looks like the goods train hit the Kanchanjunga Express with at a very big speed

03:16You know, which was not expected because when we spoke to the experts the former general manager of Indian Railways. Mr. Money

03:24he mentions that

03:26Once a train is on a track it is heading towards this destination

03:30the next train which is on the track should at least wait for 15 minutes on

03:36During night or at least 10 minutes and 2-3 minutes in the daytime before it

03:41You know jumps or goes ahead of the red signal that is there on the tracks

03:48So clearly what has actually happened this will be decided in the future in the further probe that happened

03:54but these are the visuals as of now or which needless to say are heartbreaking and also

04:00telltale sign of the fact that

04:02Indian Railways too needs to pull up the socks and try and mitigate these

04:08Unfortunate accidents as much as possible and the relief and rescue operation is also something that needs a lot of

04:15Fresher look as of now
