All provisions are there.
But there is no implementation. But no one should be surprised. Systems failure, poor track maintenance, substandard track material, absence of basic safety equipment are among the reasons cited in the preliminary enquiry report prepared by Commissioner M Mani. Most alarming is its finding that the tracks were only seven years old and yet they had cracks when the average lifespan of the tracks are 35 years. Mani's report says the rails, from the Bhilai plant of the Steel Authority of India, could have been defective or of faulty design.
