Indian Railways: Months after the deadly three-train crash in Odisha’s Balasore district that killed nearly 300 travellers, the Supreme Court on Tuesday sought to know from the Indian government about the protective steps that have been taken or proposed to be implemented, including the automatic train protection system ‘Kavach’, to prevent rail accidents in the country.
A bench of Justices Surya Kant and K V Viswanathan presided over a petition addressing safety concerns related to train accidents. The court directed petitioner Vishal Tiwari to submit a copy of his plea to the Attorney General’s office.
