It is very sad that in a fire accident in Bandra-Dehradun Express, 9 people lost their lives.  In fact, in any accident, the primary casuality will increase manifold after some time then only we will come to know clear picture.  Unfortunately, it is the second fire accident on Indian Railways within a fortnight.  In all such mishaps, Indian Railways orders inquiry but to my knowledge no such report is made public.  Perhaps, Indian Railways is the only organization in the world which conduct inquiry of its own accident.  Although Safety Commissioner is deemed to be independent, he is under the Ministry of Railways. As such, how far such type of inquiry will  reveal the truth is doubtful but there is every possibility of cover up.  Moreover, the report is not made public.  How a common public can expect justice in such a case?  It is high time to change the system. Why can't we raise voice against it?
