Chennai: A Southern Railways circular issued on Thursday has asked railway officials to not use the State language Tamil but only to use Hindi or English to communicate in order to avoid miscommunication.
This comes in the wake of a major mishap being averted in Thirumangalam where two trains were travelling on the same track. It was later found out that the mishap happened due to not understanding the language when a non-Tamil station master failed to understand the information sent by another station master, ended up sending the train instead of holding it.
On Thursday, two passenger trains were found travelling on the same railway track and were stopped around 10 kilometres apart, thereby averting a major disaster. The Southern Railways has suspended three officials a day after the two passenger trains near Madurai ended up on the same track. According to reports, the incident took place on Thursday, when the two trains, both operated between Madurai and Sengottai, came on the same track in opposite directions. Luckily, the trains were around 10 kilometres away from each other when the railway officials realised the error and the trains were stopped immediately.
