Deja Vu ( Same , Same ) ?
--------------------------------
Last
evening, some 60 persons got killed by a train , near Amritsar
They
were standing on railway tracks to watch burning of an effigy of Ravana
Predictably
, politicians rushed to the accident site , visited injured in hospitals ,
blamed rail authorities / government in power , announced “ compensations ( Rs
2 lakhs / Rs 5 lakhs ) to the kin, etc etc
Railway
minister Shri Piyush Goyalji has also ordered “ mandatory inquiry “
I
am surprised and anguished
Surprised
that , despite being tech-savvy , why did he want to waste time , ordering a
brand new / fresh inquiry ?
All
he had to do is to input into IBM’s Watson Artificial Intelligence software ,
reports of inquiries of the past 25 major train accidents !
Voila !
Within
a matter of minutes, Watson would spew out a BRAND NEW REPORT ( of course ,
location / date / no killed / no injured etc would need to be filled in at the
blank spaces manually )
Now
the anguish part
I
quite appreciate that Railways cannot construct 10 feet tall walls on both
sides of the 115,000 km long train tracks , all over India, although
Mumbai-Nagpur Super Highway is planning to do just that for its 700 km length ,
for a sum of Rs 6,000 crore ( - knowing that this has not worked in Mumbai )
But
what prevented the Railways to “ explore “ the possibility of my suggestions
sent to Shri Suresh Prabhu
( the then Rail Minister ) vide following emails ?

Dear Shri Piyush Goyalji,
May be you did not get to read my earlier e
mails
Please , do not wait for kin of those 60 dead
, to start a #SaveToo movement !
I urge you to take a few minutes to read my
suggestion ( re low
voltage EMP devices to be installed along the train tracks ) – then , for
an expert opinion on its feasibility , write to :
