*NEWSNOTES* Unprecedented Callousness Even as the death toll in the country's worst accident in the Indian Railways is slowly reaching the 300 mark the BJP-led caretaker government at the Centre pays little heed to the demand for improving the security of the unsuspecting travelling passengers. It took days for the prime minister to accept the resignation of his railway minister, let alone take action on the callous officials and dutymen. And the various enquiry committees set-up are bringing up new theories even before any probe..
Editorial The Prime Minister first used his prerogative to change a Cabinet Minister in the Caretaker Government and then acted in his dual capacity as both initiating as well as approving authority to change a policy decision, which has been castigated as a scam by the Opposition, objected to by the Hon'ble President and questioned by both the Election Commission and the Hon'ble Delhi High Court.

Talking Point

For the last two weeks, we have raised two talking points which have been crucial to our immediate future; one has been the rescue2.jpg (7513 bytes) debate over the change of the name of Calcutta to Kolkata while another focussed on Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray’s disenfranchisement by the Election Commission. Both these issues, we feel, need to be addressed to as responsible citizens who have a duty towards this land called India.

This week we have come face to face with one of the worst land transport disasters ever in India: the twin-train tragedy at Gaisal, North Dinjapur, on August 2 morning which has killed 300 people. There is now no point in apportioning blame; the idea should now be to talk about and discuss ways of getting out of these recurring accidents and put a system in place by which we are spared this colossal human waste and loss of innocent lives.

Think and make life safer on Indian Railways. Tell us.
