A letter was sent to the Rail Ministry by the Principal Chief Operating Manager of South Western Railways in Feb 2023.
The letter was about a serious head-on collision between a passenger and a goods train that was, thankfully, prevented in time.
Details of the letter 👇
(2/9)
👉 On 8th Feb, the driver of 12649 Sampark Kranti Express suddenly stopped the train near Hosadurga station after he noticed that interlocking track was set to "down line" while the train was supposed to be on "up line"
👉 The driver immediately stopped the train
(3/9)
👉 The letter says that if the driver had not shown presence of mind, Sampark Kranti Express would have CRASHED with a goods train which was coming from the opposite direction
👉 The driver prevented a serious crash which could've caused deaths of hundreds of people
(4/9)
The letter said:
👉 There is a serious problem in the inter-locking system where route of train gets suddenly changed after it gets a signal
👉 There was a failure in the system which didn't alert the Station Master to this unusual track change
(5/9)
👉 The signal maintainer (ESM) meddled with the track interlocking system without entering the relay room which is a shocking failure of inbuilt safety measures
👉 The current process of handling signaling cables has allowed this failure of happen
(6/9)
Most importantly, the letter said:
👉 There is an URGENT need to fix the system which allowed this incident to happen & to instruct the staff about this safety gap
👉 If not done immediately, there can be a serious crash in the future due to track interlocking failure

Why did Railways IGNORE this letter warning of a system failure where a crash between a passenger & goods train caused by interlocking failure could've led to loss of lives?
Rail Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw said that interlocking failure was the cause of Odisha train crash.

Railways & Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw ignored warnings from railway officials warning of problems in the track interlocking & signaling system.
Criminal negligence led to deaths of almost 300 people in Odisha.
CAG of India published an audit report last year which exposes how Modi Govt & Rail Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw criminally neglected crucial rail safety.
The details below show why Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw MUST RESIGN
Gujarat-based firm Indiana Ophthalmics has been issued a notice yesterday after Govt of Sri Lanka complained that the company's eye-drops have led to severe vision damage in those who used them.
Just 2 months ago i.e. in April 2023, the Gujarat-based company was "evaluated" & given a "ZED GOLD" certificate by Modi Govt.
According to the govt website, ZED certificate stands for "Zero Defect Zero Effect" & GOLD is the highest standard.
Please note: ZERO DEFECT

What's also interesting is that a calendar issued by Indiana Ophthalmics was inaugurated by no less than Minister @mansukhmandviya in 2020 who was then Minister for Chemicals.
I’m back after spending 4.5 months in Ahmedabad Central Jail.
Why?
Because the Gujarat Police & the ED unleashed on me by the BJP arrested me in a case of Rs. 500. filed by a Gujarat Govt official claiming to be a donor.

Of the 1700 people that crowdfunded me between 2019-20, a complaint of Rs. 500 by ONE donor (incidentally a Gujarat Govt official) was used to charge me with “money laundering”.
Sadly for the BJP, these months of imprisonment didn’t break me like they wanted.

I’m confident of my innocence & have immense faith in our judiciary which I trust will give me justice.
I have done my work with the greatest dedication through all these years.
And I’ll continue to do the work I’ve always done with the same spirit.
I was arrested on orders of BJP, got bail, re-arrested, & got bail again - all in a span of 4 days. I’m grateful to the Hon’ble judiciary for upholding my liberty.
BJP is hilariously mistaken if they thought this would break me.
I’m only going to come at them harder. 😊

I was given no notice for 5 days after an FIR was filed in Ahmedabad. The police told me that the IB was tracking me & told CISF to intercept me at Jaipur airport.
Ahmedabad Police who were in Delhi for a different case were told to rush to Jaipur to arrest me.

A frivolous case was filed for sharing a tweet made by someone else. Funnily the police have no clue who that person is.
The aim was to find a way to target me, throw me into jail, and keep me there.
This is the Modi & Shah textbook perfected in UP & Gujarat.
