Indian Railways Directs Faster Completion of Pending Train Accident Inquiries
The Indian Railways Railway Board has instructed zonal railways to expedite pending train accident inquiries, emphasizing timely completion within the prescribed 30-day period. Delays have been attributed to late formation of inquiry committees and officers being diverted by routine duties. To improve efficiency, the Board recommends designating exclusive locations near accident sites for inquiry committees to work without interruptions. Weekly updates on inquiry statuses are also mandated to enhance accountability and rail safety across the network.
