Talking to TNIE, Tiwari said that though stampedes have happened in the past, such incidents should not continue in today’s age. He noted that these incidents are preventable when we are fully equipped with technology and manpower. He added that the occurrence of stampedes when we have CCTV camera, artificial intelligence in addition to alert manpower and stronger economy, is a result of negligence. “It is not merely an incident but a failure and negligence for which the common people have to pay the price,” he said.Tiwari, in his petition, alleged that the Government did not release the actual data of human casualties and missing persons. “This may be to hide its negligence and failure. But a big responsibility have to be fixed upon the Government to disclose the actual data and to establish the counters and helpline numbers for the dead and missing persons so that their relatives and family members may enquire and ask about the condition,” Tiwari, in his petition copy, accessed by TNIE, said.He highlighted that the Railway Ministry has to take measures to minimise the risk of stampedes “Additionally, ensuring easy access to platforms through ramps and escalators can facilitate a more even for few high-class people and VIP’s Government can deploy the best facility and security but the common citizens are always left on their fate and destiny,” he said.
