The truth is coming out in the inquiry and investigation regarding the Shalimar Express accident near Orkora Gate on Sunday. On Tuesday, a train called the electrical contractor with the tracking machine. During the investigation, it became clear that the machine was malfunctioning, as a result of which the ground adjacent to the drilling route was damaged during the excavation.
.
After this incident, the police officers and the contractors responsible are still being investigated, when a case was registered against the workers working on the site with several serious charges and they were arrested. However, Railways initially suspended three policemen on Monday. On Tuesday, Railways recorded the statement of Chief Electrical Engineer (Construction), Assistant Senior Engineer, Senior Engineer and Contractor.
In order to find out the cause of the incident, more than 30 police officers and employees, including the train driver, the guard and the doorman, were called again and questioned behind closed doors. On Wednesday, several police officers and workers were again called for questioning. According to railway officials, this is the first incident of this kind in the country where the drill machine came out of the ground near the track. A major accident could have occurred in this.
It is worth noting that a seven-member team led by the chief security officer of the railway is investigating the entire incident and the role of those responsible related to it. During this period, information was taken from Electrical Department Chief Engineer (Construction) Rajendra Prasad regarding the terms of his tender and contract. Besides asking the assistant engineer questions about the tender process, information was also taken on how many applications were received.
When was the joint survey conducted with the railway officials? When was the work order issued? How many people participated in the tender process? How did this company get the tender? When did the train get permission to work on the railroad tracks? Many such questions have been asked. The investigation team took information from the maintenance engineer PK Singh about his work experience.
According to the officials of the electricity department, the railway is investigating so that such an incident does not repeat itself. On the other hand, RPF investigates the worker and the driver operating the machine. But no crime has yet been registered against the operator of the contract agency. RPF notified the contract operator and released him. The arrested workers named many people in their statement, but the RPF has yet to take action against any of them.
