Guwahati: The Member parliament of Imran Pratapgarhi on Sunday said that someone has to be held responsible for the Delhi stampede where 18 people were killed last night.
He also said the Railway Minister should have resigned after 18 people were killed and many more were left injured at a stampede that broke out at the New Delhi railway station last evening.
Speaking with the reporters Imran Pratapgarhi said that this iis a very sad incident, but who will take responsibility for it? Someone has to take responsibility. Several people have died. Why is no minister taking responsibility? Several incidents have taken place in the past two or three years.
The Congress leader further said, “The Railway Minister should have resigned; we are not saying this on a political front, but as humanity, he should come forward and say that he is not able to stop the incidents. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should appoint someone else as the Railways Minister who will save the railway sector and take it forward,” he added.
Meanwhile, a two-member committee has been formed to investigate the incident.
The committee comprises Narsingh Deo, Northern Railway’s Principal Chief Commercial Manager (PCCM), and Pankaj Gangwar, its Principal Chief Safety Commissioner (PCSC), the railways said on Sunday.
The committee has initiated a high-level inquiry into the incident. As part of the investigation, the committee has ordered securing all video footage from the Railway Station to aid the probe.
