3rd Major train accident in a year.

Don't worry. Mudiji changed the name of Indian Railways to Bharat Railways. Ab bas bharat mata ka Naam leke chadho aur enjoy karo

Har aire gaire ki baat pe dhyaan nahi dete.

And more importantly what about the videos of the intentional attempt of sabotaging the railways? What if this accident is not an accident but a conspiracy.

Lalukabaap asking for resignation as if Lalu's tenure was so clean

But I do agree, his portfolio should be reduced

It is the biggest public transport system with great potential to improve the mobility of Indians. But the focus is only on Vande Bharat and the PR associated with that. Trains are running without sufficient coaches, and traveling without reservation is hard.

Crores are spent for PR drama for the people in power which could have effectively been used to improve the railway.

Their whole strategy is PR. Vande Bharat is good for PR even though it mostly runs empty. There's an accident prevention indigenous tech called Kavach but it has not been implemented all across. They'll let 2-3 more accidents happen and then in a PR blitz announce that Make in India Kavach is going to be installed in every train. Their fans will cheer that they're saving lives and everything else will be forgotten.

The IT cell machinery works overtime throwing blame on everyone else other than government.

I actually have a train journey to vizianagram this week.
I had a train ticket (different train) the very next day of the coromandel accident. Cancelled immediately and booked flight. Might do the same again.

There is an accident prevention technique called Kavach, but it seems that it's not installed on every train due to cost constraints. As for vacancies, I think only goods trains are profitable, and the railway is making a loss on every passenger trains (maybe AC coaches /Vande Bharat trains are exception). That might be the reason for the budget constraints
