The Narendra Modi government has “thoroughly compromised” basic railway safety, the Congress said on Tuesday after a high-level inquiry concluded that “wrong signalling” was the reason for the three-way train collision at Balasore in Odisha.
The inquiry by the Commissioner of Railway Safety flagged “lapses at multiple levels” in the Signal and Telecommunication (S&T) department and said the tragedy could have been averted if past red flags were reported.
