Such Humanity is far seen in todays time where everyone is just selfish .
Good to see Humans
Seriously how many people boarding the train in unreserved coaches most of the people who were in unreserved coaches lost their valuable lives. We are concentrating on Vande Bharat trains, which most of our population cannot afford in it. Indian Railways priorities
All trains will not be converted to vande Bharat. New trains are added so more passengers can travel. And more capacity is added. The other trains will continue as they were.
What is time difference between derail and the collision of the other train?
as per news its some 5 to 10 minutes.. if it was some 20 or 25 min more.. they would have sent communication and stopped the second passenger train.. bad fate!
@bikidas2060 How's the situation there now? Is it far from where you live right now?
One of the worst accidents ever in India
Don't know what exactly caused this...if loco pilot was sleeping or something
RIP to all those who lost their precious lives in this tragedy
Yea. Highest death in train accident i guess. Unimaginable.
How devastating the accident was😔- Rail Track entered the roof through floor
Unlimited accidents happening in trains but no precautions...
We have anti collision system renamed as KAWACH, is it not working anymore? why train not stopped automatically before collision 💥
RIP to the people who died, and the numbers just going up.
No train should run without KAVACH all new train inaugurations should be stopped untill KAVACH anti collision system is installed in all Indian trains, we have this technology since a decade but Rail ministery is least bothered about passenger' s safety, Think about vande Bharat if such collision happens trains beauty and speed will not save passengers
unfortunate and devastating to hear , robust technologies are their available to stop these fatal accidents but rail minister doesn't seem to pay attention to it . Om Shanti
I have a lot to say about the shitty operation of railways. Now is not the day. No amount of blame volleying would bring the dead back.
I only hope they do a honest internal enquiry and learn how to avoid such tragic incident from happening again.
What was the cause of derailment?
Not sure if everyone understands the train operation, but here is what happened in a brief video. The train was at 128kmph and was supposed to skip station from main line but due to switch fault it entered on loop line which was occupied by freight train. So unfortunate that another train was crossing at the same time and due to which the derailment caused maximum casualties
The place is approx 20kms from my place. The scene there is beyond imagination. You won't sleep/eat for next few days if you see in reality. Tragic.
Also death toll is farrr more than what is reported.

As per this, it was a sabotage incident
What else can be expected from agmark sanghi? Even if railway inform that this disaster due to signal issue, these sanghis will still look at religious angle
Several people are feared injured as 12841 Coromandel Express from Shalimar to Chennai derailed at Bahanaga station in Balasore district of Odisha. Around 200 passengers are trapped in the overturned coaches of the superfast train. Quoting preliminary reports, a railway official said that the Coromandel train was moving on the mainline. After derailment it hit a goods train standing on the loop line. The Express train is believed to have hit Yashwantpur-Howrah Express from behind.
