Derailment of Delhi Metro rail

Another problem happened to Metro – the third bad incident!    This time a stupid driver ran the red light and derailed the first bogie – DUH!  What’s going wrong with Metro in Delhi???

It happened in Dwarka – a place where I took trains for many days in my last trip to Delhi.  The cause of the accident:

cause of derailment appears to be the train operator starting the train on manual mode without waiting for the ATP (Advanced Technology Programme) actualisation and crossed the signal when it was red
