India's deadliest train disaster in decades killed at least 275 people and injured hundreds more, a tragedy officials have said was linked to an electronic signal system.
That refers to a complex signal system designed to stop trains colliding by arranging their movement on the tracks. India's Railway Board has recommended a high-level probe into the disaster by the federal investigating agency.Officials had initially reported it stood at 288 but the Odisha state government has since revised the toll downwards to 275 after some bodies were mistakenly counted twice.However, many fear the death toll could still rise because medical centres are overwhelmed by the number of casualties.
In 2022, India built 5,200 kilometres of new tracks, and upgraded or replaced about another 7,500-8,000 kilometres, Vaishnaw said.
