Swain being swine as usual.
The dead bodies of passengers killed in the Balasore train accident are being kept on ice slabs at a large place.
Yes and trains don't derail outside India, I know you're just another unemployed India obsessed troll but no need to show your single digit IQ here.How will the bullet trains work as they should when India can't manage low-tech passenger trains without horrendous casualties?
The death toll is now approaching 300, with almost 1000 people injured, by the way.

The system is huge. To give you an idea At any given time 11000 trains are running carrying riders more than the population of Australia, daily. Upgrading the entire system in one go is impossible, prima face it looks to be an human error. No excuses, but the problem is not as linear as it is being thought of.280 DEAD
You quoted other user, but i still want to answer.
Railway lines and trains are from British era in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh.
Mostly Indian considers they have good trains, but all these 3 countries have scraps.
It will be good if railway lines are replaced with new ones and trains should be privatized.
Around 8.1 billion people use IR services every year, which other country is as busy as them?Of course they do, but no country on earth has an appalling record of railway fatalities as India. The frequency of accidents and the sheer number of fatalities in India are appalling, don't you agree?
Below is just a partial list of accidents, derailments, collisions, and other incidents since independence.

sabotage by who? us?Posting “Primary Investigation Report" into #OdishaTrainAccident by Railway Officials. IT “LOOKS" LIKE A CASE OF SABOTAGE!! JIR says signal was set for the UP main line as per SM panel, but points were set to UP loop line. No way LP/ALP could have averted this. Probably the Solenoid's malfunctioned or it's plain sabotage.
Around 8.1 billion people use IR services every year, which other country is as busy as them?
And yet accidents have gone down in recent years.
As I said you're just a desperate and obsessed troll, ashamed of your own identity .
It will have to be investigated. But some fatal err were made last night the men and machine operating the network.sabotage by who? us?
of all the places that one could sabotage train, especially vande bharat express, why odisha?
Even after Covid EU was nowhere close to India in terms of Passenger-KMThe European Union's integrated passenger rail network transported 8.2 billion passengers in 2019 with ZERO passenger fatalities.
Allah Rahem keray.. Why is it that in 3rd world countries, fatalities are high a similar mishaps in advanced countries you do not hear that many deaths? Be it Train accidents or natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods etc...
