West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday visited the railway accident site near Balasore in Odisha and raised questions on why anti-collision devices were not installed.
“Railway department is neglected. They do not care for passenger safety and security. The situation is getting from bad to worse. Anti-collision devices were set up when I was there ( as Railway Minister), had these devices been there the accident would not have occurred,” Ms. Banerjee later told presspersons at the accident site.
She added that priority remains rescue of passengers and restoration of normalcy.
