The Ministry of Railways has transferred two senior officers after the deadly Bilaspur train accident. Rajiv Kumar Barnwal, Principal Chief Electrical Engineer of South East Central Railway, and Rajmal Khoiwal, Divisional Railway Manager of Bilaspur, were shifted. The move came hours after the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) Brijesh Kumar Mishra released his report on December 11, 2025. The accident happened on November 4, 2025, when a Mainline Electrical Multiple Unit (MEMU) train crossed a red signal and hit a stationary goods train near Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Twelve people died and 19 were injured. The CRS report highlighted that the loco pilot, who died in the crash, had failed the mandatory aptitude test. This test checks intelligence, memory, reaction time, and personality. Mr. Mishra warned, "Deploying loco pilots on MEMU services who have failed to perform against the above parameters will certainly hamper timely decision-making and reaction time during train operations. Loco Pilots should be deputed on MEMU services only after passing the aptitude test." In the South East Central Railway zone, only 102 out of 142 required loco pilots had cleared the test. The CRS urged the Railway Board to arrange more qualified manpower. The report also raised alarms over Signal Passed At Danger (SPAD) incidents. There were 33 SPAD cases in 2024-25, and six already in the first two months of 2025-26. Mr. Mishra recommended that assistant loco pilots apply emergency brakes if a train crosses a red signal or overspeeds after a yellow signal. On blood alcohol levels, the report noted a gap. While Indian Railway Medical Manual demands zero alcohol level, SECR’s Principal Chief Medical Director said levels up to 10 mg/dl were treated as negative. The CRS suggested Indian Railways review this limit and include alcohol tests in post-mortems if crew die in accidents. These updates should be added to safety manuals. The CRS summed up, saying the Bilaspur accident was caused by an "error in train working."
