The recent train accident in Odisha, India, which resulted in the country’s worst rail tragedy in almost three decades, may have been caused by a change in the electronic interlocking system, according to Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Union Railways Minister.
The electronic interlocking system is a critical component of the Indian Railways’ signalling apparatus, ensuring that trains on the 120,000 km network run smoothly and do not collide. The Chennai-bound Coromandel Express collided with an iron ore-laden goods train on the loop line near the Bahanaga Bazar station in Balasore. The train had been diverted to the loop line seconds earlier.
Among all these there are some celebrities who have donated money to help those injured in the accident.
