Indian Railways has cancelled the operation of several trains due to the horrifying triple train accident near Odisha’s Balasore. More than 235 passengers have lost their lives while around 900 people injured in the wake of the tragic incident. The tracks have almost been destroyed at the site as mangled coaches lay strewn all over, with some having mounted on another, while a few coaches turned turtle due to the impact.
The rescuers are working on a war footing to extricate the bodies from under the derailed coaches. The process of restoration of track, signals, and overhead wire at the site will begin after the conclusion of the rescue operation. The national transporter has also issued helpline numbers and help desks at several railway stations.
