Terrible news from India.

I express my deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the Odisha train accident and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.

The Indian authorities stated that the event took place near Balasore, in the Odisha state. According to the official investigation, the collision was caused by one of the train’s derailments. The vehicle was on its way from Bengalaru to Calcutta, in the northeast of India. Allegedly, the train went out of control and got off the main lane, crashing into a goods train already parked over there. Its coaches fell onto the other tracks on both sides of the way. Consequently, the next train, Howrah Superfast Express, was not able to react on time and it derailed as well, causing a 3-train accident.

In an attempt to compensate the people who have been affected, families of the deceased will receive 1 million rupees ($12,000 USD), seriously injured will get 200,000 rupees and minor injured people will get 50,000 rupees. About the accident Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated:

It’s a big tragic accidente. Our complete focus is on the rescue and relief operation, and we are trying to ensure that those injured get the best possible treatment.
