Railway also hinted towards conspiracy

Top officials of railway signaled Interruption signaled. Jaya Verma Sinha, Member, Operations and Business Development, Railway Board, had said that the ‘point machine’ and interlocking system is error-free and fail-safe. He did not rule out the possibility of outside interference. He said, it is called a ‘fail safe’ system, so it means that if it fails, all the signals will turn red and all train operations will stop. Now, as the minister said there was a problem with the signaling system. Maybe someone did some digging without seeing the cables. There is a risk of failure in the running of any machine. No fault has been found in the electronic interlocking system, but negligence cannot be ruled out, he said. It could be a case of tampering or sabotage from inside or outside, he said. We have not denied anything.
