MADRID (The Thursday Times) — Madrid ke aik control centre ne Spain ki aik high-speed train ke driver ko Urda ke qareeb ruki hui aik train se ja takrane se chand minute pehle "mamool ki raftar se" chalte rehne ko kaha tha, Spain ke media ki janib se shaya ki gayi audio recordings se yeh baat samne aayi hai, jabke mulk mein kam az kam 68 halak hone walon ke liye 3 roza qaumi sog shuru ho gaya hai.
El País aur sarkari nashriyati idare RTVE samet media idaron ki janib se jari ki gayi 3 recordings mein se aik mein control centre ka aik operator Renfe ke driver se kehta hai: "Apna safar jari rakhein aur phir [Lateral Signalling Block] ke teht aage barhein, mamool ki raftar se, mamool ke operation ke saath." Driver poochhta hai: "Mamool ki raftar se?" Controller jawab deta hai: "Haan." BBC ke mutabiq yeh block aik back-up system hai jo khudkar signalling nakam hone par istemal kiya jata hai.
"Train mujhe ijazat nahin de rahi"
Doosri recordings mein taqreeban 25km aage maujood Iryo train ka driver ittila deta hai ke train-control system se rabta munqata ho gaya hai aur train Urda ke dakhili signal ke samne khari hai. Dobara chalne ka kahe jane ke baad Iryo ka driver wapas call kar ke kehta hai: "Train mujhe ijazat nahin de rahi ke main [security] system ko control karoon. Isi liye main ab tak dakhili signal ke samne ruka hua hoon." Is guftagu se ishara milta hai ke controller ko bataya ja chuka tha ke jab 397 musafiron ko le jane wali Renfe train qareeb aa rahi thi toh Iryo train ab bhi khari thi.
Wazir-e-Transport Óscar Puente ne trains ko raftar ki pabandiyon ke baghair dobara chalne ki ijazat dene ke faisle ko "naqabil-e-fehm" qarar diya hai, aur wazarat ka kehna hai ke trains ki raftar 40km/h tak mehdood honi chahiye thi. Tasadum se pehle Renfe train ki raftar 200km/h tak pahunch gayi thi.
Sog aur ghussa
"Poora Spain sogwar hai," Wazir-e-Azam Pedro Sánchez ne kaha. "Zindagiyan bikhar gayi hain, khandan ujar gaye hain, dard be panah hai." Zyada tar jamaaton ne agle maheene hone wale aam intikhabat ke liye intikhabi muhim muattal kar di, lekin intehai dayen bazu ki jamaat Vox ne inkar kar diya, aur us ke rehnuma Santiago Abascal ne hukumat par ilzam lagaya ke woh rail network par "tanqeed ko khamosh karane ke liye sog ko istemal karne" ki koshish kar rahi hai. TVE ke mutabiq raat bhar taqreeban 1,500 logon ne Transport Ministry ke bahar ehtijaj kiya.
Emergency amla floodlights ki roshni mein raat bhar dabbon ko kaat kar kholne mein masroof raha, aur bohat se halak hone walon ki ab tak shanakht nahin ho saki. Is hadse par hamari pichhli report parhein.
