Wagons from a freight train owned by a private carrier derailed at the Merichleri and Dimitrovgrad interstation early this morning, FACTS learned.
Over a kilometer of railway is completely damaged. The damage to the railway is extremely extensive. We remind you that in August this year the general director of the DP NKZHI, Maria Genova, was dismissed, and the reasons were that she did not cope with the many problems in the operation.
A month before she was fired, she appointed Rumen Stankov as the deputy general director in charge of operation at DP NKŽI, who was in the same position in 2023, but was dismissed for not handling the work and lack of experience for this position.
At this moment, Rumen Stankov is directly responsible for everything related to the problems in DP NKŽI, and more precisely everything related to "Exploitation" in the largest company in the country and the problems do not stop, but are clearly getting deeper. The appointment of people without experience, such as that of Rumen Stankov, endangers the security of this company, as well as the carriers using the rail infrastructure traffic service, due to the fact that once again it is complicated man to man, just to have a job and without to understand the essence and nature and.
Whether the person responsible for what happened will be held accountable or will be encouraged once again depends only on the Minister of Transport and the Director General of the DP NKŽI, but it seems that urgent measures must be taken to his replacement, say people familiar with the problems in the company.
