Your point 4________________________
Your point 5________________________
After thinking look at the Answers
1) How is it possible for DRM to find tht passengers were going for HSC exams..Here it is mentioned tht all trains were rerouted.. So it will be  difficult task to find where passenger wanted to go or what was the priority .
Yes indeed. they should have taken trial on the same track after finding the exact cause for the derailments As soon as possible it was possible.
DRM should have proceeded by arranging meetings with his senior officials and should have formed committee to find actual cause for derailment . After the inquiry result only and consultations with his Senior officials, DRM should have decided to quit or not .
2)As the DRM, my top priority would be to arrange a means of transportation for the hsc students so that they reach the exam centre on time and for other people as well and provide medical aid for the injured passengers.
Once that is done, I would form a team which will find the cause of the accident.
Then problems of local commuters shall be resolved like loss of property, etc.
All those who have lost their lives or are injured should be given proper compensation and medical facilities and for the same, higher authorities should be involved.
Next priority should be to make the railway track operational as soon as possible.
And at the end, I will make a report for the entire incident and forward it to the railway ministry(or higher authorities)
3)A train got derailed…
As a DRM my responsibility are as follows in order of priority…
1. Ensure safety of everyone, police, ambulance and fire brigades have to be ready for mitigation process.
2. Arrangement of alternate train or other transport bound to places where the train was actually headed.
It is mentioned that HSC examines were on board, but there can be several people on the train with different reasons may be urgent or may be just leisure. So a special transport should be made available for the people for urgent reasons such as examinations, health care etc.
3. Formation of a Special Investigation Team, to look into the causes of the accident to have a detailed analysis of the causes so that such accidents can be avoided in future.
