The explosion of bombs in two compartments of the Samjhauta Express had
caused the fire on the train and the death of 68 passengers, a probe by the
commissioner of Railway Safety has found.

 

A statutory inquiry by the commissioner of Railway Safety, Northern Circle,
said the fire was caused by the explosion of bombs kept on the upper racks
near the door in two coaches -- GS 03431 and GS 14857 -- of 4001 UP Attari
Special, an official release said on Monday.

 

The fire had started when the train was at Diwana railway station near
Panipat in Haryana, it said.

 

The commissioner also suggested several measures to be adopted to tighten
security, including identification of baggage in all trains and review of
design of coaches to provide for quick emergency exits in case of fire.

 

It also recommended that there should be strict baggage check of the train
passengers travelling by 4001 UP at Delhi junction railway station as is
done at Attari since the train after starting from Delhi stops only at
Attari.

 

It also wanted vestibuling of all coaches, as it would be of great help to
passengers if they wanted to move to safety in case of fire.
