The MoT asked the Vietnam Railways (VNR) to warn organisations and individuals related to the two breakdowns, and repair the damaged part of the line. The safety of the railway system must be checked, especially stations with a high density of trains.
The railway sector must check all train carriages and punish any violations based on present laws. It must collaborate with the Viet Nam Railway Authority to uncover the reasons for the breakdowns and make necessary improvements.
The VNR should supervise the work of railway workers who are on duty, train drivers and railway guards to ensure railway traffic order and safety.
VNR has been banned from using tools and equipment which do not meet technological and environmental protection standards.
The Viet Nam Railway Authority must give instructions to railway inspectors and the police to properly punish any violations in the railway sector, and give detailed measures to prevent further breakdowns.
The Viet Nam Register is responsible for checking train carriages and providing information on any found to be unsafe. These should be banned from operation.
On Monday, the SP2 Train derailed while travelling to Yen Vien Railway Station in Ha Noi’s Gia Lam District at a speed of 15kph.
No casualties were reported. Several pieces of equipment were slightly damaged. Four trains were late. No traffic jams were reported.
Earlier on Sunday, the SP2 Train also derailed at the same time and at the same place.
