Bengal Train Accident: Here's what the people aboard the ill-fated Kanchanjunga Express had to say

The ill-fated Kanchenjunga Express that was rammed in its rear bogies by a goods train on Monday morning made its way back to its destination, the Sealdah station in Kolkata during the wee-hours of Tuesday morning. The passengers who were aboard the train heaved a sigh of relief as they stepped onto the platform of the railway station, recalling the horrors at the very moment of the accident.

The Reporter is so empathetic such a rare scene in Indian media these days, great reporting madam....

[@user-fd2xt5li8i]

While the Railways have failed to exhibit compassion for the surviving but traumatized passengers on their arrival at Sealdah by the affected train, the journalists interviewing them was empathetic. Thanks to her.

Brilliant journalism you guys are the benchmark of remarkable journalism. Salute to you the NTT team.

[@uttaranbhunia4939]

Thanks for the news media that we need so desperately now. To show the human side of the story n not sensationalise

[@AazaadMadhumita]

It should be made compulsory for the Railway minister as well as the other officers to travel by train to know the hardships faced by the common people. Is is then they'll work for the Railways' safety. Air travel should not be allowed for official work

[@RgSakhar]

Your ground report, people express their feelings , about accident it will terrifying, you both ground report good journalism please continue.

During UPA one major accident the railway minister had to resign. Coromondal accident as well occurred during the same railway minister but still he has been awarded second term as railway minister . No accountability!! No responsibility!!

[@RAJIV1987CH]

Surprised to see no railway authorities.. No arrangements made by the railways to recieve the passengers under trauma. Atleadt they could have made some arrangement of medical team and battery car service for the elderly to drop them off.. such a shame IR

[@AnyaPlays]

arrangements were made...

Indian government doesn't care much for human lives this may be due to overpopulation

Unless it happens to people related to railway officers or ministers,no steps will be taken,I am sorry to say. Every year these new ministers announce new trains without having new tracts or coaches, that's the sordid story.

[@prabirdutta670]

Results are obvious. But the cause of such accidents year after year? What is the efficacy of so called 'Kabach'. All are eye wash. Showing the grounds of safety Train fare for Mail / Express trains have been shoot up, will remain excuse only. The Railway Minister, the Railway Board, the technical hands down the line should be held responsible and answerable to the People of India, why they will not face punishments / step-downs. Thank you.

[@bijay7576]

Non maintenance of railway signals, tracks , over hours of work by loco pilots without toilet or AC facility in their cabins , non filling up of 3/ 4 lakhs jobs ( shortage of staffs) are the reasons of such accidents. Railway journey is not safe nowadays.

Jab General ka dabba khali dikhe na tab samajh jana ki Ab Lokh ready he VB Express or Bullet Train safar karne ke liye. Price of 1st AC ticket = Price of CC ticket in VB Express. Railway need to develop their Staff, Track, Signal and Others. Loco- Pilot mentally disturb he over time ke liye and Inka Kawaz to pata nai kaha gum ho gya he. Ye compensation dene se kisi ki life return nai ho jayega.
