Indian Railways says it transports more than 13 million people every day. But the state-run monopoly has had a patchy safety record because of aging infrastructure.
The South Eastern Railway has said a preliminary report indicated that the accident was the result of signal failure. “We were called by the police and asked to come,” said Baisakhi Dhar from West Bengal state, searching for her husband Nikhil Dhar.More than a 1,000 people are involved in the rescue, the Railway Ministry said on Twitter.“The target is by Wednesday morning the entire restoration work is complete and tracks should be working,” said Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
