Kanchanjunga Express accident: ECR suspends issuing of T/A 912, directs drivers to maintain caution

The East Central Railway (ECR) has suspended the T/A 912 written authority letter for train drivers to cross signals in case of automatic signal failure. The decision was taken at a safety meeting, following a Kanchanjunga Express-goods train collision that killed 10 people. The ECR's circular stated that the T/A 912 would not be issued until further advice, and instead, the provision of G&SR 9.02 will be used for double line.
