Letters Rail safety
The editorial, `Unsafe rails' (Business Line, September 13): The frequent rail accidents have created panic among the passengers, especially when there are differing opinions on the likelihood of sabotage. Many rail bridges, ageing over a considerable period, should be suitably repaired or even demolished to make way for new bridges. Similarly, the old tracks should be reconstructed for enabling safe traffic. As pointed out, introduction of new trains and speeding up the existing ones on populist demand without proper test of tracks amount to utter carelessness and eventual tragedies. Running railways on mere political considerations has become the order of the day and hence these miseries. C. P.Velayudhan Nair
