Time to take part in blame government game or introspect sensitivity of people for their own safety


The unfortunate incident of Amritsar train accident has started a fresh political blame game war. Though, politics of blame game over the sad accident is not a new thing. But, the saddest and pathetic bitter truth is railway track is for running of trains. The need of the time is to introspect the mistake and carelessness nature of people in this incident. Insensitive and careless approach for blaming government for not paying attention for owns safety seems the least thing that people can do!
None of the politicians, part of this rhetoric, have courage to come in front line and suggest the loop holes. And, what would be the precautions to avoid Amritsar train accident kind of misfortunate incidents. More upon it, on the ground of suggesting concrete suggestions for avoiding such incidents, people seems eager to blame government and system. Is it really meaningful or just the easiest way of escaping from taking responsibilities?





Indeed, the rail safety records are serious matter of concern with day by day increasing death toll in such incidents. And, the major political parties should invest time in improving the overall safety features for passengers. The lack of intellectual inputs in improving the safety and services for one of the major revenue contributor department to the working government should be the point of discussion.

Rather than local government authorities and rail department blame game, clear responsibilities should be decided. At the end of the day, the function is taking place near railway track and rail tracks are never safe for walkers. If rail tracks add to amusement and fun than why not start organizing all festive celebrations on the bay of tracks! As we have one the largest tracks worldwide, there can be so much more to do on the tracks and invite suicidal events collectively! People should learn from Amritsar train accident that rail tracks are not fun destinations!

Notably, in recent time this is one of the major accidents, killing at least 60 persons and many injured. The most disastrous mishap during this incident is ignorance and carelessness of the people and event managers. Who can justify the death toll of loved ones departed souls by blaming political parties or railways? This is the never ending battle for the survivors to think and relive those dreadful moments.
 
How the life would be if they have not been so careless to roam around on a working rail track!
We are a literate society and still so backward that we are really unrealistic to accept the simple line for our own safety to not walk or cross rail tracks? Government have not done this (the never ending list) and has not provided us other major things. Yes, we are here to blame government but, this is not justified in the view of recent misfortunate Amritsar train accident. Really, time to think and introspect rather than blaming the easy target government!
