Balasore

Authorities in Odisha and West Bengal have entered a state of high alert as cyclonic storm 'Dana' is likely to form in the Bay of Bengal.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has officially lodged a chargesheet against three railway employees who were previously detained in connection with the tragic Balasore train accident.

The Congress alleged that the Modi government's decision to hand over the accident probe to the CBI was just "headline management". In reality, even railway officials are claiming that this incident was an aberration, and a normal investigation may not be able to uncover the complete truth.

Present at Balasore since the accident took place, Reliance Foundation’s specialist disaster management team closely coordinated with the Emergency Section, Collectorate, Balasore, and National Disaster Response Force.

Several leaders expressed their condolences over the tragedy in which 288 people have been killed and over 1,000 injured.

Death toll has neared 300, and over 900 people have been injured in a triple train collision that occurred on Friday evening.
