There had been some examples set by the former Railway Ministers of India when they had resigned after fatal train accidents in India.
The first to pioneer the step was the legendary leader Lal Bahadur Shashtri, who later became the Prime Minister of India, had resigned on moral grounds when a major railway accident in 1956 when 112 people died.
Later in 1999 Nitish Kumar resigned as the Railway Minister when a major accident occurred at Gaisal.
Subsequently, Mamata Bannerjee and then Suresh Prabhu had offered to resign from the post of Railway Ministers.
Now the pressure is obviously on the incumbent Railway Minister Aswini Vaishnav that whether he would take the moral responsibility after the most disastrous train accident of such magnitude after 122 years.
In which 288 people died and preliminary findings point the needle at the neglect by the department.
Be it not the use of Kavach or change in electronics inter-locking system but it was an error of human that killed 288 people in Balasore in Odisha.
