Triple train tragedy: Odisha govt’s quick action saved 1200 lives

The Odisha government, which is treated as a model state in disaster management, once again proved that it can quickly respond and manage any kind of disaster. The quick action and team work with proper coordination with line agencies, saved many precious lives from the devastating triple train accident that took place on June 2 evening.

Even though 288 persons were killed in the train accident, the death figure might be much higher, if the government could not have acted timely, an official said.
