15. RAILWAY DISASTER
 “Railway Disaster is a serious train accident
or an untoward event of grave nature,
either on railway premises or arising out of
railway activity, due to natural or man-
made causes, that may lead to loss of many
lives and/or grievous injuries to a large
number of people, and/or severe disruption
of traffic etc, necessitating large scale help
from other Government/Non-government
and Private Organizations.”

16. RAIL ACCIDENT
1. The Indian Railways is the world's
largest railway system under a single
management; with about 63,000-km route
network that operates over 11,000 trains
every day. There have been many railway
accidents which could be considered as
disasters.

17. RAIL ACCIDENT
2. Therefore, it is not possible to locate rescue & relief
equipment and manpower at each and every
station. Presently, there are 174 Accident Relief
Medical Vans (ARMVs), and 185 Accident Relief
Trains (A Class, B class & self propelled ARTs)
stationed at strategic locations over BG & MG
network in the Indian Railway system. Each ARMV
has to service on an average an area covering a
radial distance of over 150 kms. The set norms are,
that the ARMV must leave within 20 minutes of
receiving information of an accident.

18. RAIL ACCIDENT
3. Therefore, in a remotely located accident,
the relief train may take anything between
one to four hours to reach the accident site,
considering time taken to cover the distance
and organising men and material. Further,
in major accident involving heavy casualties,
one or two ARMVs may not be able to cope
up with the pressure of immediate relief.

19. TYPES OF DISASTER IN RAIL ACCIDENT
 Collisions (with a huge number of casualties)
 Train marooned (flash floods)
 Derailments at a bridge over a river & coaches
falling down
 Train washed away in cyclone
 Derailment of a train carrying explosives
 Derailments of a train carrying highly inflammable
material
 Tunnel collapse on a train
 Train crossing accidents
 Fire or explosion in trains, etc.

27. KEY POINTS TO BE KEPT IN MIND
 Past railway disaster have revealed that a lot many
cases of theft & looting is done by local peoples, hence
it is advised to ensure that GRP/RPF/local police is
present at the incident site before operation is
commenced by NDRF so that the onus of looting &
theft does not fall on NDRF pers.
 Where as NDRF is trained to operate various CSSR ops
it is to be noted that railway disaster response requires
lots of cutting and breaching equipments, hence while
responding all available cutting , breaching
equipments should be carried as well as blades & saws
should be catered for with sufficient nos.
