The CBI has now launched an investigation into the Coromandel Express train crash in Odisha, which has become one of the deadliest train accidents in the country.
As the death toll in the Odisha train accident is nearing 290, an audit report from 2022 shows that there was “serious concern” when it comes to rail safety.
Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnav on Sunday inspected the restoration work at the accident site in Balasore, where two passenger trains and a goods carriage were involved in a horrific accident, leaving 294 passengers dead and injuring over 1,000 people.
At least 233 people were killed and around 900 injured in the crash involving the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express, the Shalimar-Chennai Central Coromandel Express, and a goods train on Friday. aaa
