WHO IS AT FAULT? Around 7 p.m., 12841 Coromandel Express, which runs between Shalimar and Chennai, around Balasore, 10 to 12 of its coaches derailed and tossed over to the opposite track. After some time, another train, which runs between Yesvantpur and Howrah, dashed into those derailed coaches, which resulted in the derailment of its three to four coaches,” Railway Spokesperson Amitabh Sharma told reporters.The Coromandel travels through India’s east coast, between West Bengal’s capital Kolkata to the South Indian city of Chennai.Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted his condolences on Friday. “Distressed by the train accident in Odisha. In this hour of grief, my thoughts are with the bereaved families. May the injured recover soon. Rescue ops are underway at the site of the mishap and all possible assistance is being given to those affected,” he wrote.India’s extensive rail network suffers from aging infrastructure and poor maintenance – factors that are often responsible for accidents.The death toll from Friday’s crash has already surpassed that of an infamous crash in 2016 <https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/14/india/india-train-accident-deaths-intl-hnk/index.html> – one of the deadliest in recent years – when over 140 people were killed in a derailment in northern Uttar Pradesh state.TIn 2021, some 16,431 people were killed in nearly 18,000 railway accidents across the country. “Majority (67.7%) of railway accident cases were reported (as) ‘Fall from trains /collision with people on track,' ' according to a 2021 report by the National Crime Records. And LB Sastri Ariyalur Trichy. KR How many times I would have crossed BALASORE station ; Coromandal is a flying train with limited stops. When Goods derailed what was the reporting by that driver immediately?; had he reported how many seconds it will take to stop both the trains?; So failure and negligence were on the Goods driver and Balasore station Master. Had the accident occurred at 7 40 PM, atleast at 7 30 Goods should have derailed; all have all the modern gadgets today for the communications. Coromandal till then to this day have only bhuvaneshwar and AP stop in between Kolkata and chennai. Alarm signals are fitted in trains nowadays. Probably station master Balasore was drinking and did not bother to do his duty. Is it a sabotage as 2024 is around the corner as in LB shastri as Railway Minister? GOK. Condolences. And Karma is stronger. KR IRS 4 6 23
