As a result of the disaster in India, about 300 people died

A major disaster occurred in India, the largest in decades. As a result of the collision of three trains – two passenger and one freight – nearly 300 people died, and over 900 were injured.

According to media reports, the tragedy happened on the evening of June 2. The country’s Minister of Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw, has requested the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct an investigation into the collision of the three trains.

It was previously reported that preliminary data indicated a “signal failure,” causing the passenger express to mistakenly end up on the freight train’s track and collide with it. As a result of the impact, several cars derailed and fell onto the adjacent track. A few minutes later, another express train crashed into them. In total, both trains were carrying over 2,300 passengers.

The country’s Prime Minister promised that all those responsible for the largest disaster in decades would be punished.

The President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, sent a telegram of condolences to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed his sympathies.

Although three days have passed since the disaster, the final results of the investigation have not yet been made public. The names and positions of those responsible are also unknown.
