New Delhi, May 8
Chief Commissioner of Railway Safety Shailesh Pathak has written to the Railway Board Chairman, calling for abundant caution and asking him to issue instructions to ensure that such a mishap does not recur.
The Commission of Railway Safety, which investigates said: “It is essential that all Railway personnel connected with train operations, maintenance and patrolling should be cautioned to immediately communicate any such occurrence of persons walking along the track, if noticed by them, to the nearest station.”
While it does not treat these incidents as “railway accidents” and terms runover cases as “trespassing”, there have been instances when it has paid ex gratia to the next of kin of victims on sympathetic grounds. — PTI
