RECENT DERAILMENT OF HARIPRIYA EXPRESS AT HUBLI.
Train
number 17416 Haripriya Express from Kolhapur – Thirupathy derailed on 02.08.12 at Navalur ( Between
Hubli and Dharward)station around 18.45 hrs. Loco Pilot Mail Sri. Jalaiah,
Assistant LP Sri BK Behra, Guard Sri Wilson Joseph. Sri. CV Ramana, Loco Inspector was monitoring
in the Train engine.
LP applied emergency brake immediately after experiencing
an unusual sound and jerk; this avoided a major accident. He should have been
awarded.
Some
officers came to accident spot and declare that application of emergency brake by LP causes derailment. Later
statement was modified to excess speed-
after examining the speedometer chart speed was within limit(86 KM). LP was
kept under suspension, and later suspension was revoked. The actual reason was
rail fracture. Many officers have a practice of
blaming the Loco Pilots without
ascertaining the facts.
If
emergency brake will cause derailment or accident (In this regard RDSO issued a
letter), such brake should be removed from Engine.

Every time, whatever may be the reason, First Engine Crew is made a scapegoat and later after inquiry, real fact comes out. This is usual practice.
