Rahul Gandhi criticized the central government following a train accident involving the Mysuru-Darbhanga Bagmati Express and a parked goods train in Kavaraipettai, Tamil Nadu. He’s making a painful connection to the tragic Balasore crash that claimed nearly 300 lives, questioning whether the government is really learning from these disasters.
“This accident reminds us of the horrific Balasore tragedy. With so many lives lost in various train mishaps, it’s shocking that no lessons seem to be learned,” Gandhi stated. His comments come after at least 19 passengers were hurt in this latest incident, sparking urgent talks about railway safety.
Relief efforts sprang into action quickly. Tamil Nadu’s Deputy Chief Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin, assured that there were no casualties and that emergency services were on the scene in a flash. “Twenty-two ambulances were there in no time,” he said. To help affected passengers, three marriage halls have been opened for temporary shelter, along with essential supplies.
Stalin also stressed the importance of the central government stepping up with stronger measures to prevent such accidents in the future. The message is clear: we need better safety protocols, and the pressure is on the government to act before another tragedy happens.
