AP CM asks PM to form a high-level committee to look into the causes of train mishaps.

VIJAYAWADA, OCT 30 : Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the railway minister to constitute a high-level audit committee to thoroughly examine the reason for the train accidents.

The Chief Minister on social media ‘X’ said: “The devastating train accident that occurred in Vizianagaram district last night has caused me great pain. A running train collided with another stationed train, both of which were running in the same direction.”

The Chief Minister said: “This horrifying accident gives rise to certain obvious questions: Why did the braking system and the alert system not function? Why did the signaling fail? and how did the communications system fail?.”

Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy requested the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to constitute a high level audit committee to thoroughly examine all these aspects, not just on this line but on all lines across the country, to ensure such devastating accidents do not recur in the future.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost their loved ones. Our government will continue to ensure that the best possible care is taken of those injured in this accident,” the Chief Minister said.(UNI)
