This is an extremely tragic situation. Negligence on the part of the S&T staff cannot be tolerated and those responsible must be held accountable. No one should have to face such a tragedy due to a preventable error.

Long, Difficult Process Of Identifying The Dead Prolongs Grief & Horror For Odisha Train-Crash Families

A month after a three-train wreck in Balasore, Odisha, killed over 290 people on 2 June, 52 bodies are yet to be identified. As mostly low-income families wait in Bhubaneswar for the result of DNA testing, they sift between two sets of images—those of the mangled faces and bodies they have seen and the smiling ones saved on their phones, some sent minutes before the accident. While their poverty demands they return to work, desperate calls from home ask whether they will soon have the solace of the last rites.

After The Coromandel Train Wreck: Unemployed, Young Migrant Workers Struggling With Health Costs & Lost Wages

From speaking to passengers who survived the 2 June 2023 Balasore train accident in Odisha, a picture emerges of India’s migrant labourers: Many are young, often school dropouts, who travelled long distances to find menial jobs because there was no work at home, on farms or otherwise. Without medical insurance and paid leave, they struggle now with health costs and lost wages.

Modi government’s special fund for railway safety spent on foot massagers, crockery, winter jackets: CAG report

This spending sleight of hand and the sharp rap that the government auditors delivered to the railway czars may never have become public if it weren’t for the triple-train accident last week in Balasore.
