PART-A


A FEW WORDS TO MY TEAM Our commitment to safe travel of passengers and goods continues to remain emphasized. And for ensuring the safe travel, we maintain our preparedness to meet any eventuality of disaster including accidents whenever it happens. Priority is first to save precious human life, treat the injured, evacuate passengers, normalize Railway operation and related activities in between. In order to effectively alleviate human suffering and quickly restore rail traffic, there is an imperative need to formulate a plan in advance. This Disaster Management Plan is an effective blueprint in this direction. I always tell that it is the end result and the impression on the minds of our customers and public that counts. DRM is the nodal authority, but it is the esprit de corps of divisional team that gives the results. Also, it is not rules or the rulebook or the disaster management plan but the presence of mind, common sense and sense of urgency that are the crucial factors in any disaster MANAGEMENT EXERCISE. All officers should convey the Plan down the line for successful implementation. Any Correction in DMP should be immediately brought to the notice of Safety Department. Suggestions are Welcome :-

• First of all, he shall make an accurate representative sketch of site showing even minutest details however insignificant.

• In sketch, exact location of damaged track, coaches etc. with reference to static reference point.

41


The PWI will participate in measurement rolling-stock, if decided to be taken/ if required. The joint measurement may be recorded on prescribed format and must be signed by all concerning supervisors.

11.4.4 Repair to track and Restoration of traffic:

He should plan for the repair work of damaged track and get it commenced

immediately after obtaining police clearance, if required. All the supervisors

and labour available at site should be divided in suitable groups and definite

quantum of work should be allotted to them for completion in targeted time. In

case of night hours, he will arrange proper lighting in co-ordination with

Electrical Department or Breakdown Officials. PWI in-charge will ensure:

11.4.5 To inform OC/Engg. Officer about the availability of P. Way materials &

Machines and to submit the plan for carting them to site. For example, he will

inform Engg. Officer about nearest availability of rails, sleepers & fittings and

also how to cart them at site. Location & availability of equipments like

Cutting machine, Hole drilling machine, Augers, Rail dolleys etc. 11.4.6 However, if this material/equipment are available in ART, as it should

be, PWI based on extent of damage receive them from Brake-down in-Charge. Then he shall take preliminary arrangement of spreading rails/sleepers as preparatory work in the period when derailed wagons/coaches being on track by Crane.

11.4.7 Planning regarding sequential procedure to be adopted for track repair to be done. Rails to be cut in required length, holes drilled and kept ready nearest to the required location. Sleepers to be inserted/replaced be kept ready at nearest point. If possible, they may be inserted during other restoration processes. These steps will reduce the restoration time.

11.4.8 After completion of repair to track, track fit must be communicated to station(s) nearby clearly indicating date, time and speed restriction and its kilometerage, if any. The message should be clear and without doubt-raising.

11.5 Manpower management at Site:

11.5.1 The PWI will so arrange his unit that in accidents during night also there is no shortage of Gangmen. He should keep addresses and telephone nos. (if possible) of all his Gangmen residing in nearby villages, if they are local.

11.5.2 The sectional PWI, in consultation with the OC/Engg. Officer will

endeavor his best to manage available manpower and assistants so that utmost utility of them may be obtained. This will definitely reduce the time of restoration.

42


11.5.3 PWI will divide his manpower into manageable small units of men as required under a PWS or JE. He will clearly instruct them to carry out the specified task and shall not make changes to this plan arbitrarily to avoid confusion.

11.5.4 After having done preliminary arrangements, wherever he is asked to do so, the PWI will start the restoration work by deploying in orderly manner.

11.5.5 He shall also plan to deploy his manpower in such a manner that fresh labours get to work after one batch of labour get exhausted after intensive work.

11.5.6 In bigger accidents, he will arrange for camping arrangement of labours, their fooding arrangement and availability of drinking water.

11.6 Some remedial measures based on past experiences: 11.6.1 The role of Engineering Department at an accident site is mainly

concentrated to restoration operations for track, bridges and any other structure involved. However, it can’t be overlooked that primary duty of all the Railway men (irrespective of their departments) is to provide assistance in management of rescue operation. Remedial measures based on problems faced in past are proposed as follows.

11.6.2 All the ARTs have been provided with about 100m restoration material

i.e. rail, sleeper & fittings and these have not been found to be less in any of accidents so far, as all ARTs are for MG sections where track damages are generally less due to less speed of trains. However, arrangement shall be ready to have additional P.Way materials adequate for 200m length at certain fixed locations at SPJ, DBG, NKE & SHC. Restoration P. Way materials location wise is given in Annexure-13 and a copy is available at Engineering Control.

11.6.3 It was found difficult to arrange Gangmen especially during night,

most of the Gangmen being local. All the PWIs have been instructed suitably in this connection. The PWIs must know about full address and telephone nos. of their Gangmen and other staff where they may be contacted during emergencies. It will be the responsibility of the concerned PWI to remain in contact and collect Gangmen during abnormalities like accidents.

11.6.4 In case of damage to bridge, materials like joists, girder, jack, gas

cutting machine, rope, C.C. Crib, Derrick. & Welding machine etc. to be kept always with BRI/SPJ as shown in Annexure-14.

43


11.6.5 Disaster also occurs due to frequent flood in Samastipur division being close to Nepal & presence of large nos. of river and no bunds are available. Already detailed Monsoon precaution exists. Boulder/cinder on ground and on wheel is done by 15th June every year. Additionally G.I. wire crate, E.C. Bag & Patromax are also made ready timely as shown in Annexure-15.

11.6.6 SPJ division is full of rivers & bridges and any accident over these

bridges will be disastrous consequences due to submerging/sinking of coaches in river water. Altogether 7 such bridges have been identified and these are shown in Annexure-16. Details of divers and boats from nearly villages have also been collected as shown in Annexure-16/A for using these at a very short notice. Brief on Divers available with SE/Bridge at Samastipur is shown in Annexure–16/B. Brief on Village Divers available near different bridges/rivers is shown in Annexure–16/C.

11.6.7 Group of such Village Divers/Swimmers/Fishermen who may be

available near by, 1st available railway person including engineering staff/Supervisor shall motivate for volunteering for rescuing of persons and extracting of dead bodies. For such group of persons, Personal Accident Insurance (for unknown persons) for a period of three years needs to be processed. Sr.DEN is the Nodal Authority for this purpose who will arrange required Insurance in advance and ensure timely renewal. In case of claim, Sr.DEN shall process claim for such persons.

11.6.8 At the time of accident, much time is lost in approaching station by

road due to lack of knowledge of local roads. To overcome this necessary road-map has been prepared showing district boundaries and road up to station. This is to be updated regularly by Sr.DEN.

A FEW WORDS TO MY TEAM Our commitment to safe travel of passengers and goods continues to remain emphasized. And for ensuring the safe travel, we maintain our preparedness to meet any eventuality of disaster including accidents whenever it happens. Priority is first to save precious human life, treat the injured, evacuate passengers, normalize Railway operation and related activities in between. In order to effectively alleviate human suffering and quickly restore rail traffic, there is an imperative need to formulate a plan in advance. This Disaster Management Plan is an effective blueprint in this direction. I always tell that it is the end result and the impression on the minds of our customers and public that counts. DRM is the nodal authority, but it is the esprit de corps of divisional team that gives the results. Also, it is not rules or the rulebook or the disaster management plan but the presence of mind, common sense and sense of urgency that are the crucial factors in any disaster MANAGEMENT EXERCISE. All officers should convey the Plan down the line for successful implementation. Any Correction in DMP should be immediately brought to the notice of Safety Department. Suggestions are Welcome :-

Annexure – 6/B

Section 320 of IPC “Grievous hurt” has been defined in Section 320 of IPC as under:

320. Grievous hurt. - The following kinds of hurt only are designated as “grievous”.

First - Emasculation. Secondly - Permanent privation of the sight of either eye. Thirdly - Permanent privation of the hearing of either ear. Fourthly - Privation of any member or joint. Fifthly - Destruction or permanent impairing of the powers of any member or joint. Sixthly - Permanent disfiguration of the head or face. Seventhly - Fracture or dislocation of a bone or tooth. Eighthly - Any hurt which endangers life or which causes the sufferer to be during the

space of twenty days in severe bodily pain, or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits.

The Railways Act, 1989: 123 (b) “dependent” means any of the following relatives of a deceased passenger, namely:

(i) the wife, husband, son and daughter, and in case the deceased passenger is unmarried or is a minor, his parent.

(ii) the parent, minor brother or unmarried sister, widowed sister, widowed daughter-in-law and a minor child of a predeceased son, if dependant wholly or partly on the deceased passenger.

(iii) a minor child of a predeceased daughter, if wholly dependant on the deceased passenger. (iv) The paternal grand parent wholly dependant on the deceased passenger.

124 – A Explanation – For the purposes of this section, “passenger” includes –

(i) a railway servant on duty; and (ii) a person who has purchased a valid ticket for traveling, by a train carrying passengers, on

any date or a valid platform ticket and becomes a victim of an untoward incident. Note: For officers on site

1. For other than minor, check train ticket/platform ticket/pass (if Railway employee). If ticket not furnished,

then make such enquiries as can be reasonably made on the spot. For minor, claim valid if dependant / person accompanying minor holds ticket. However, in case of minor claim will be paid to the parent of the minor only.

2. Claim is valid if injured passenger himself claims, or authorizes an agent who applies for ex-gratia. 3. In case of death, check if claimant is dependant as defined in 123(b) of Railway Act. Dependant’s claim

may be verified by documents which may include Mukhiya’s certificate and Thana’s confirmation or make such enquiries as can be reasonably made on the spot.

4. It is advisable to take photograph of injured passenger, injured passenger with claimant, dead body with claimant.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (RAILWAY BOARD)

No. 2002/Sec.(Cr.)/45/47 New Delhi, Dated 11-12-2002

To

The Home Secretary, Govt. of India,

Ministry of Home Affairs, North Block,

New Delhi.

Sub: Expeditious clearance by the state police in a case of Railway accident

Sir,

Your kind attention is invited to the subject mentioned above. In a case of

rail accident involving loss of human lives or injuries to the passengers, railway

administration does everything possible to render necessary assistance and succour

to them. Efforts are made to rush rescue and medical apparatus to the site of

accident without losing any time as the first few hours are very crucial.

But it has been noticed that rescue operations are hampered due to delayed,

and at times, reluctant clearance by the State police. This was evident in the recent

Rajdhani Express in Bihar when it took them unduly long time to complete the

formalities.

It may be pertinent to mention that there are two different tasks to be

tackled on war footing, namely (a) Rescue and (b) Restoration

(a) As regards rescue operations, they cannot obviously wait till legal

formalities are completed as they invo:Je saving human lives. But it appears

that there is some confusion regarding the urgency of undertaking rescue

operations. I would request you to reiterate instructions to the state Govt. on

this point so that there is no delay in starting rescue operation. Needless to

mention that the State Govts should also extend maximum cooperation in

handling the situation. Besides providing medical aid, other facilities, which

may be necessitated by circumstances at the site of the accident, may also

be extended by them expeditiously.

(b) As regards restoration of railway traffic, rule_ provide that this can be

taken up only after the clearance by the local police or GRP. In this regard it

would be relevant to point out that a large number of passengers are unduly

inconvenienced by disruption of rail traffic. It would, therefore, be in the best

interest of the passengers to restore the rail traffic as fast as possible. But, it

has been noticed that the local police take a long time in giving the required

clearance, consequently delaying the restoration operations.

I would, therefore, request you to issue necessary instructions to the State

Govts. to expedite clearance certificate in the event of a rail accident, so that

normal traffic can be restored without avoidable delay.

Yours faithfully

No. 2002/Sec.(Cr.)/45/47 March, 27, 2003

The General Managers

Sub: Clearance by State Police incase of railway accidents due to suspected

sabotage.

Ref.: Ministry of Home Affairs' letter No. VI-24022/11 /2002-PM-1 dt. 24.12.2002

addressed to Home Secretaries of all States (copy enclosed).

The issue of expeditious clearance by the State Policy in case of Railway accidents,

where sabotage is suspected, has been engaging Ministry of Railways (Railway

Board)'s attention for a long time. It is noticed that sometimes rescue operations

are hampered due to delayed and reluctant clearance by the State Police.

2. It is pertinent to mention that there are two different tasks to be accomplished on

war footing after a railway accident involving human lives is concerned i.e. a) Quick

Rescue Operation; and b) Restoration of Rail Traffic. It is clarified that incase of

railway accidents, permission of the State Government or clearance of the police is

not required for launching rescue operations for the purpose of saving human lives

which inter alias may also involve handling/shifting the rolling stock (locomotives,

wagons and coaches) for extricating the trapped passengers. However, police

clearance is required for restoration works at the site of accident, if sabotage is

suspected.

3. To avoid any delay’ in launching the rescue operations for saving as many human

lives as possible and for early restoration of rail traffic, the above issue has been

taken up with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Consequently, Ministry of Home Affairs

vide their letter ibid have directed the Home Secretaries of all States to issue

suitable instructions to the concerned authorities for taking prompt action and to

expedite clearance certificate in the event of a rail accident, when sabotage is

suspected.

4. The contents of this letter may be widely published among the railway

officers/staff and displayed in all ARTs/ARMEs so that a general awareness created

amongst all those engaged in rescue activities.

5. This letter supersedes the Railway Board's letter of even number dt. 7.2.2003.

Navi Mumbai .

Sub- Indian Railways Guidelines on Chemical Disasters .

Under Section 6(I) of the Disaster Management Act 2005,National Disaster

Management Authority (NDMA) is responsible for laying down the policies, plans and

Guidelines for disaster management for ensuring timely and effective response to disasters

in the country . In compliance to this statutory provision, NDMA have issued guidelines for

various types of disasters e.g.. Earthquakes, Cyclones, Floods, Medical Preparedness,

Chemical Disaster ,Nuclear and Biological disasters etc.

On going through the NDMA guidelines on Chemical Disasters , it is seen that

Vulnerability of Railways is mostly due to transportation of chemical and hazardous

materials like petroleum Products (Petrol, HSD, Naphtha, etc.) Compressed Gases (LPG etc)

, Caustic Soda, Alcohol, Acids, Chemical Manure , Matches etc. Railways also have

vulnerability due to storage of HSD in their RDIS and certain hazardous material like

lubricants ,Paints in their store depots .

Based on the NDMA guidelines and the railway related activities, Indian Railway

Guidelines on Chemical Disasters have been framed and approved by the Board (copies

enclosed) .

Railways are advised to go through these guidelines and take appropriate action for

their expeditious implementation. These guidelines may also be suitably incorporated in the

HQ and Divisional level DM plans.

Encl. 5 copies to each of the zonal railways and 2 copies to KRCL .

Some of the dangerous goods like HSD oil, lubricants etc. are also stored by the Railway for

their on consumption in diesel loco sheds. RDIs at Stations , store depot etc. These places of

storage of dangerous goods must have sufficient fire fighting equipment and trained Man power to

deal with initial phases of fire. All such locations of storage must also have the road access so that

fire tenders can approach in the event of any major fire. Adequate security arrangement should be

made at these locations to prevent any outside interference which may cause any untoward

incidents. The facilities for storage of petroleum products by the Railways should confirm to the

petroleum rules 2002 notified in the Gazette of India.

In addition to the Railways own storage, there are major storage points of dangerous goods

adjacent to the Railway infrastructure under the private ownership . Railway should liaise with

guarded by them to obviate any unto wards incidents that might affect railway system
