Initial findings entail inquiry by professional agency: Govt on Odisha train tragedy
The railways on Monday defended the CBI probe into the Balasore railway accident, saying that initial findings of the tragedy forced the national transporter to seek professional agency investigation.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday sought a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Friday night’s horrifying accident which left 275 people dead and 1,100 injured.
However, the Opposition parties criticised the government for holding the CBI probe saying that the premier investigative agency does not have expertise in probing railway accidents.
