PIECING IT TOGETHER: K.J.S. Naidu, Railway Safety Commissioner (second from right), inspecting the keys for operation in a suburban train at the Moore Market Complex in Chennai on Thursday. CHENNAI: The Commission of Enquiry probing the collision between an EMU and a goods train at Vysarpadi station near here on Wednesday will recommend severe action against officials responsible to the railway administration. Four persons were killed and 11 injured in the collision. Talking to newspersons here after the first day of enquiry on Thursday, Commissioner of Railway Safety K.J.S.Naidu said the commission would also recommend measures to the Railways for strengthening safety measures in the system to prevent such incidents. It would take two to three months for him to complete the report, which would be sent to the Railway Board and the General Manager for action. According to a railway official, 28 persons, including station managers and station masters of Moore Market Complex, Basin Bridge Junction and Vysarpadi, pointsmen of the MMC, scheduled driver and guard of the ill-fated EMU, will appear before the Commissioner. On Thursday, only two persons appeared. When newspersons asked Mr.Naidu whether he had obtained any clues about the person responsible for the collision, he said at present he could only say that the EMU went on a wrong line violating the signal. Whether it was the fault of the driver or any other personnel for leaving the keys in the motor car itself was being probed. Earlier, the Commissioner visited the spot where the collision took place. Later, he held discussions with railway officials.
