In the wake of the horrific train accident in Odisha, multiple newspapers published editorials on lessons that need to be learned – and why the railways must prioritise safety.
The Hindu’s editorial today said the three-train collision is a “tragic reminder of the challenges that India faces in modernising and expanding its rail services”. It said an accident of this kind had been “foretold” as recently as February when a similar collision was averted in Mysuru.
