Why so many derailment in such short time? I can't help but think of human involvement in messing up the track.

The Delhi kanpur section sees movement of trains at an average 13mins during night and 19 mins during day. How do you expect maintenance. Operations department do not allow block to maintenance. Moreover there has been no new investment in Govt instead, reservation charges, cancellation, tatkal, premium fare have been increased. This is increased source of income.

No one care for human lives in India. That's the worst part. I was stranded in traffic today for VVIP movement. Hate these politicians and their mean ways
