Bhubaneswar: A pile of wrecked coaches near Bahanaga Bazar railway station in Odisha’s Balasore district serves as a grim reminder of the world’s deadliest triple train tragedy which claimed nearly 300 lives and left over 1,200 people injured.
Despite six months having passed since the incident on June 2, it remains vivid in the minds of people travelling along the Kolkata-Chennai route.
The accident involved three trains – Coromandel Express, Yeshwantpur-Howrah SuperFast Express and a stationary goods train.
The administration’s biggest challenge was identification of bodies as they were mutilated and beyond recognition.
