Disaster Management Plan Samastipur Division

For Official Use Only

A FEW WORDS TO MY TEAM

Our commitment to safe travel of passengers and goods continues to remain emphasized.

And for ensuring the safe travel, we maintain our preparedness to meet any eventuality of disaster including accidents whenever it happens.

Priority is first to save precious human life, treat the injured, evacuate passengers, normalize Railway operation and related activities in between.

In order to effectively alleviate human suffering and quickly restore rail traffic, there is an imperative need to formulate a plan in advance. This Disaster Management Plan is an effective blueprint in this direction. I always tell that it is the end result and the impression on the minds of our customers and public that counts.

DRM is the nodal authority, but it is the esprit de corps of divisional team that gives the results. Also, it is not rules or the rulebook or the disaster management plan but the presence of mind, common sense and sense of urgency that are the crucial factors in any disaster MANAGEMENT EXERCISE.

All officers should convey the Plan down the line for successful implementation.

Any Correction in DMP should be immediately brought to the notice of Safety Department.

Suggestions are Welcome :-

AREAS CONCERN - Heath of employees. Periodical Medical Examination. Alcohol abuse and drug addiction. Stress Management.

THRUST AREAS - Following would be the thrust areas as steps towards prevention of accidents.

1. Health of employee – Health plays as very critical role in human failures that lead to accident. Regular check up of employees would be done and awareness programmes would be launched to inculcate health consciousness among staff. This would also entail envelopment of infrastructure and equipments for Medical examination and treatment. Proper follow up of medical problems detected during medical examination would be done. Hospitals and health units where PME would be done have been nominated.

2. AIDS - Would be specially targeted.

3. Hygiene - Would be taken care of at work centers and staff colonies. Quality of drinking water would be specially monitored.

4. Rehabilitation of addict – DE addition camps would be organized to treat and Rehabilitate drug and alcohol addict. Emphasis would be on a holistic approach towards the treatment in coordination with the executive branches. Assistance of NGOs will be taken in this regards.

5. Stress Management – Emphasis would be given to educate staff on stress management and means to overcome related problems without medication. Yoga teaching would be institutionalized at Training centers, running rooms and other centers of activity.

6. Periodical Medical Examination – Whereas vision test remains the critical factor in the PME of safety categories, the same would not be restricted to vision test. Rather, complete medical examination would be the Endeavour so as to detect symptoms of other medical problems that may affect the health of the employee, and rail safety as a consequence. ******

Separate arrangements may also be done for opening of Public Information Booth, from where communication arrangements for relatives, officers, media persons and others may be done. To meet this requirement sufficient nos. of tents/tarpoline may be kept reserve with every IOW/PWI unit, and if not available

Disaster Management Plan Samastipur Division

just now, procurement may be processed. Our approach in providing assistance to victims should be thought of considering ourselves into their place.

10.4.3 Preparation of sketch and joint measurements:

A neat sketch of the accident site should be drawn by Engineering officials (by IOW if present, otherwise by PWI) showing every aspect of track and rolling stock e.g. position of rail, sleepers, wheels etc. Length of dragging and important distances which may have relation with the accident must be indicated. The PWI will deploy one SE (W) to prepare a dimensioned sketch giving the full particulars of the site of accident including the track leading up to the point of derailment, path followed by derailed vehicles, place of mounting and drop, which pair of wheels and of which vehicles were first derailed and the position at which the derailed vehicles came to stand.  First of all, he shall make an accurate representative sketch of site showing even minutest details however insignificant.

 In sketch, exact location of damaged track, coaches etc. with reference to static reference point.

The PWI will participate in measurement rolling-stock, if decided to be taken/ if required. The joint measurement may be recorded on prescribed format and must be signed by all concerning supervisors.

10.4.4 Repair to track and Restoration of traffic:

He should plan for the repair work of damaged track and get it commenced immediately after obtaining police clearance, if required. All the supervisors and labour available at site should be divided in suitable groups and definite quantum of work should be allotted to them for completion in targeted time. In case of night hours, he will arrange proper lighting in co-ordination with Electrical Department or Breakdown Officials. PWI in-charge will ensure: 10.4.5 To inform OC/Engg. Officer about the availability of P. Way materials & Machines and to submit the plan for carting them to site. For example, he will inform Engg. Officer about nearest availability of rails, sleepers & fittings and also how to cart them at site. Location & availability of equipments like Cutting machine, Hole drilling machine, Augers, Rail dolleys etc. 10.4.6 However, if this material/equipment are available in ART, as it should be, PWI based on extent of damage receive them from Brake-down in-Charge. Then he shall take preliminary arrangement of spreading rails/sleepers as preparatory work in the period when derailed wagons/coaches being on track by Crane. 10.4.7 Planning regarding sequential procedure to be adopted for track repair to be done. Rails to be cut in required length, holes drilled and kept ready nearest to the required location. Sleepers to be inserted/replaced be kept ready at nearest point. If possible, they may be inserted during other restoration processes. These steps will reduce the restoration time.

Disaster Management Plan Samastipur Division

10.4.8 After completion of repair to track, track fit must be communicated to station(s) nearby clearly indicating date, time and speed restriction and its kilometerage, if any. The message should be clear and without doubt-raising.

10.5 Manpower management at Site: 10.5.1 The PWI will so arrange his unit that in accidents during night also there is no shortage of Gangmen. He should keep addresses and telephone nos. (if possible) of all his Gangmen residing in nearby villages, if they are local.

10.5.2 The sectional PWI, in consultation with the OC/Engg. Officer will endeavor his best to manage available manpower and assistants so that utmost utility of them may be obtained. This will definitely reduce the time of restoration.

10.5.3 PWI will divide his manpower into manageable small units of men as required under a PWS or JE. He will clearly instruct them to carry out the specified task and shall not make changes to this plan arbitrarily to avoid confusion.

10.5.4 After having done preliminary arrangements, wherever he is asked to do so, the PWI will start the restoration work by deploying in orderly manner.

10.5.5 He shall also plan to deploy his manpower in such a manner that fresh labours get to work after one batch of labour get exhausted after intensive work.

10.5.6 In bigger accidents, he will arrange for camping arrangement of labours, their fooding arrangement and availability of drinking water.

10.6 Some remedial measures based on past experiences:

10.6.1 The role of Engineering Department at an accident site is mainly concentrated to restoration operations for track, bridges and any other structure involved. However, it can’t be overlooked that primary duty of all the Railway men (irrespective of their departments) is to provide assistance in management of rescue operation. Remedial measures based on problems faced in past are proposed as follows.

10.6.2 All the ARTs have been provided with about 100m restoration material i.e. rail, sleeper & fittings and these have not been found to be less in any of accidents so far, as all ARTs are for MG sections where track damages are generally less due to less speed of trains. However, arrangement shall be ready to have additional P.Way materials adequate for 200m length at certain fixed locations at SPJ, DBG, NKE & SHC. Restoration P. Way materials location wise is given in Annexure-13 and a copy is available at Engineering Control.

10.6.3 It was found difficult to arrange Gangmen especially during night, most of the Gangmen being local. All the PWIs have been instructed suitably in this connection.

Disaster Management Plan Samastipur Division

The PWIs must know about full address and telephone nos. of their Gangmen and other staff where they may be contacted during emergencies. It will be the responsibility of the concerned PWI to remain in contact and collect Gangmen during abnormalities like accidents.

10.6.4 In case of damage to bridge, materials like joists, girder, jack, gas cutting machine, rope, C.C. Crib, Derrick. & Welding machine etc. to be kept always with BRI/SPJ as shown in Annexure-14.

10.6.5 Disaster also occurs due to frequent flood in Samastipur division being close to Nepal & presence of large nos. of river and no bunds are available. Already detailed Monsoon precaution exists. Boulder/cinder on ground and on wheel is done by 15th June every year. Additionally G.I. wire crate, E.C. Bag & Patromax are also made ready timely as shown in Annexure-15.

10.6.6 SPJ division is full of rivers & bridges and any accident over these bridges will be disastrous consequences due to submerging/sinking of coaches in river water. Altogether 7 such bridges have been identified and these are shown in Annexure-16. Details of divers and boats from nearly villages have also been collected as shown in Annexure-16/A for using these at a very short notice. Brief on Divers available with SE/Bridge at Samastipur is shown in Annexure–16/B. Brief on Village Divers available near different bridges/rivers is shown in Annexure–16/C.

10.6.7 Group of such Village Divers/Swimmers/Fishermen who may be available near by, 1st available railway person including engineering staff/Supervisor shall motivate for volunteering for rescuing of persons and extracting of dead bodies. For such group of persons, Personal Accident Insurance (for unknown persons) for a period of three years needs to be processed. Sr.DEN is the Nodal Authority for this purpose who will arrange required Insurance in advance and ensure timely renewal. In case of claim, Sr.DEN shall process claim for such persons.

10.6.8 At the time of accident, much time is lost in approaching station by road due to lack of knowledge of local roads. To overcome this necessary road-map has been prepared showing district boundaries and road up to station. This is to be updated regularly by Sr.DEN.

A copy of above letter in which DRM s have been delegated the powers to requisition Helicopter/Airplane to reach the site of Accident. For rescue operation in case of serious disaster. 1. GMs/DRMs have been delegated the powers to rescue Helicopters/Airplane to reach the site of serious accident for rescue operation expeditiously. In addition, Powers are also delegated to repulsion Air support to dispatch the rescue team to the site of the accident.

Disaster Management Plan Samastipur Division

It is difficult to stipulate exactly the circumstances under which they may exer cise these powers, it has been decided to leave this to the discretion of GMs/ DRMs however broadly these may cover the following type of case.

(A) Where more than 10 casualties ( death-serious injuries) are feared and it is difficult for these officers to reach the site within reasonable time. (B) Where heavy damage is caused to Rly. Installations in sensitive and tension field areas (e.g. wreckage to track, bridges , etc. through bomb blast, other mean of sabotage , etc.) (C) Where public reaction in case of late arrival of senior officers at site is likely to be highly adverse.

Normally in case of an accident only one helicopter should be requisioned by a Zonal Rly. , except when there is a serious passenger train accident involving several casualties when it is essential for both the general manager & the Divil. Rly. Manager to reach the site at once to satisfied the public and the press. However for dispatching the rescue teams to the site of the accident, separate Helicopter/ airplane may be requisioned. If so needed. The GMs/DRMs may exercise the above powers personally and may not be delegate these powers. 2. Zonal Rlys are further empowered to requisition helicopter/ airplane to evacuate injured and dead in the event of serious accident. GMs may personally exercise these power and may not delegated these further. The above instructions on the subject supersede all the previous instructions issued vide above referred letters.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (RAILWAY BOARD)

No. 2002/Sec.(Cr.)/45/47 New Delhi, Dated 11-12-2002 To The Home Secretary, Govt. of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, North Block, New Delhi. Sub: Expeditious clearance by the state police in a case of Railway accident

Sir, Your kind attention is invited to the subject mentioned above. In a case of rail accident involving loss of human lives or injuries to the passengers, railway administration does everything possible to render necessary assistance and succour to them. Efforts are made to rush rescue and medical apparatus to the site of accident without losing any time as the first few hours are very crucial.

But it has been noticed that rescue operations are hampered due to delayed, and at times, reluctant clearance by the State police. This was evident in the recent Rajdhani Express in Bihar when it took them unduly long time to complete the formalities.

It may be pertinent to mention that there are two different tasks to be tackled on war footing, namely (a) Rescue and (b) Restoration

(a) As regards rescue operations, they cannot obviously wait till legal formalities are completed as they invo:Je saving human lives. But it appears that there is some confusion regarding the urgency of undertaking rescue operations. I would request you to reiterate instructions to the state Govt. on this point so that there is no delay in starting rescue operation. Needless to mention that the State Govts should also extend maximum cooperation in handling the situation. Besides providing medical aid, other facilities, which may be necessitated by circumstances at the site of the accident, may also be extended by them expeditiously.

(b) As regards restoration of railway traffic, rule_ provide that this can be taken up only after the clearance by the local police or GRP. In this regard it would be relevant to point out that a large number of passengers are unduly inconvenienced by disruption of rail traffic. It would, therefore, be in the best interest of the passengers to restore the rail traffic as fast as possible. But, it has been noticed that the local police take a long time in giving the required clearance, consequently delaying the restoration operations.

I would, therefore, request you to issue necessary instructions to the State Govts. to expedite clearance certificate in the event of a rail accident, so that normal traffic can be restored without avoidable delay. Yours faithfully Sd/ (Dr. A.K. Pandey) Director General/RPF Copy to Member Mech./Railway Board-for information

The General Managers

Sub: Clearance by State Police incase of railway accidents due to suspected sabotage.

Ref.: Ministry of Home Affairs' letter No. VI-24022/11 /2002-PM-1 dt. 24.12.2002 addressed to Home Secretaries of all States (copy enclosed).

The issue of expeditious clearance by the State Policy in case of Railway accidents, where sabotage is suspected, has been engaging Ministry of Railways (Railway Board)'s attention for a long time. It is noticed that sometimes rescue operations are hampered due to delayed and reluctant clearance by the State Police.

2. It is pertinent to mention that there are two different tasks to be accomplished on war footing after a railway accident involving human lives is concerned i.e. a) Quick Rescue Operation; and b) Restoration of Rail Traffic. It is clarified that incase of railway accidents, permission of the State Government or clearance of the police is not required for launching rescue operations for the purpose of saving human lives which inter alias may also involve handling/shifting the rolling stock (locomotives, wagons and coaches) for extricating the trapped passengers. However, police clearance is required for restoration works at the site of accident, if sabotage is suspected.

3. To avoid any delay’ in launching the rescue operations for saving as many human lives as possible and for early restoration of rail traffic, the above issue has been taken up with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Consequently, Ministry of Home Affairs vide their letter ibid have directed the Home Secretaries of all States to issue suitable instructions to the concerned authorities for taking prompt action and to expedite clearance certificate in the event of a rail accident, when sabotage is suspected.

4. The contents of this letter may be widely published among the railway officers/staff and displayed in all ARTs/ARMEs so that a general awareness created amongst all those engaged in rescue activities.

5. This letter supersedes the Railway Board's letter of even number dt. 7.2.2003. Sd/ (ATUL PATHAK) Director/Crime Prevention. Railway.Board ****** 78

Sub- Indian Railways Guidelines on Chemical Disasters .

Under Section 6(I) of the Disaster Management Act 2005,National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is responsible for laying down the policies, plans and Guidelines for disaster management for ensuring timely and effective response to disasters in the country . In compliance to this statutory provision, NDMA have issued guidelines for various types of disasters e.g.. Earthquakes, Cyclones, Floods, Medical Preparedness, Chemical Disaster ,Nuclear and Biological disasters etc.

On going through the NDMA guidelines on Chemical Disasters , it is seen that Vulnerability of Railways is mostly due to transportation of chemical and hazardous materials like petroleum Products (Petrol, HSD, Naphtha, etc.) Compressed Gases (LPG etc) , Caustic Soda, Alcohol, Acids, Chemical Manure , Matches etc. Railways also have vulnerability due to storage of HSD in their RDIS and certain hazardous material like lubricants ,Paints in their store depots .

Based on the NDMA guidelines and the railway related activities, Indian Railway Guidelines on Chemical Disasters have been framed and approved by the Board (copies enclosed) .

Railways are advised to go through these guidelines and take appropriate action for their expeditious implementation. These guidelines may also be suitably incorporated in the HQ and Divisional level DM plans.
