Rly probe panel submits report

The DRM will submit the report to the top brass of the Southern Railway.

The committee has arrived at the conclusion that the cause of the accident was due to a human error. However, no immediate action is likely against the suspended employees 8212; Assistant Station Master ASM Kesava Panicker, leverman T V Francis and drivers E P Philip and K N Swamidasan.

Action will be initiated only after the departmental inquiry 8212; also known as the Disciplinary and Appeal Rules investigation DR Inquiry 8212; is conducted. The DR inquiry is a long process and would take about two months to conclude the probe. The inquiry will be done by officials in the respective departments.
