Delhi Metro rail is the Lifeline of Delhiites. Any sort of negligence in the running of Metro rails and of its staff can cause an immeasurable damage in terms of human lives and property. Negligence, callous and careless approach of the staff must be dealt with stringently. Despite the high fair of Metro rail, a large number of people ride it only because it is swift, punctual and safe. But the yesterday's incident in which a Metro rail crashed into the wall at Kalindi Kunj depot while on trial puts a big question mark on its running and the functioning of the staff. Metro train was reportedly allowed to run without checking its brake system. It is purely a human error caused by the human negligence. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has done right by ordering a high-level inquiry into the incident. The report of the inquiry must be completed within a fixed time. It should also recommend an appropriate action so that there could be no recurrence of the incident like this. Metro in Delhi is the most convenient mode of conveyance in the city and NCR. Majority of the office goers in Delhi go to their offices by Metro rails. It is only because of its fast, prompt and safe service. Providing better Metro rail service will help reduce the pollution level in the city. By giving comfortable, fast, punctual and sincere service to the Delhiites, Metro rail will certainly attract even the car owners to ride it. But at the same time, it is of utmost importance to take care of the safety Metro rail riders. Metro trains run so fast and swift that Delhiites can go one corner to another in the city in less than one hour. It also gives hassle-free service. There is no issue of red light signals at traffic crossing points with Metro. Metro train saves time and provides hassle-free service. Being the most popular mode of conveyance, DMRC has rightly swung into action immediately after this incident of ramming of the Metro train into the wall at Kalindi kunj depot. Metro is the first preference of Delhiites among the public transports. So, its sincere surveillance is necessary to keep Delhiites safe. DMRC has ordered a high-level inquiry into the incident in which a metro train crashed into a wall yesterday at the Kalindi Kunj depot while on a trial run. The three-member committee consists of Executive Directors Rolling Stock (Project), Rolling Stock (Operations and Maintenance) and Operations. The DMRC said, prima facie it appears to be a case of human error and negligence and appropriate action will be taken after the inquiry. A trial train was moved from the workshop without testing the brake system as a result of which, while the train was moving up the ramp for washing, it rolled back and hit the adjacent boundary wall. No person was injured in the incident. The Metro train which rammed into the wall was reportedly driverless. It is to be made public that on whose order the Metro was allowed to move driverless. This aspect must also be inquired into. Whoever is found guilty must be punished without any loss of time.
