A number of concerns are being voiced about the safety system of the Indian Railways in the wake of the Odisha train catastrophe, which lost 288 lives. There was widespread speculation that the triple-train accident was caused by a technical issue combined with administrative carelessness. This news coincides with persistent rumors of a staffing deficit in the railroads’ safety division. There have also been inquiries for open positions in the department of railway safety.
It is said that the safety department has had over 2,000 open positions. In reality, job-seeking applicants revealed to India Today that just a small percentage of them met the requirements for hiring, and appointment letters were sent in 2018. They haven’t yet had a confirmation, though.
Additionally, these candidates pushed the Centre to speed up the hiring procedure after the Odisha railway accident. At the party headquarters in Jaipur, some 50 candidates also met with the leader of the BJP’s Rajasthan branch and delivered a memorandum.
