Odisha train accident: How did three trains collide in Odisha?

The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but preliminary reports suggest that the Coromandel Express may have entered a wrong track moments before the mishap. The Yesvantpur-Howrah Superfast train was traveling at high speed when it hit the derailed coaches, causing a chain reaction that resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people.

The accident has been met with widespread shock and sadness in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called the accident a "national tragedy" and has vowed to bring those responsible to justice. The Indian Railways has also announced a compensation package for the families of the victims.

The Odisha train accident is the deadliest rail accident in India since 2010. It is a reminder of the need for safety measures to be put in place to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

Here are some of the safety measures that could have been taken to prevent the Odisha train accident:

• The Indian Railways could have installed more automatic train protection (ATP) systems. ATP systems are designed to automatically stop trains that are going too fast or that are on the wrong track. 

• The Indian Railways could have improved its track maintenance procedures. Regular track inspections and repairs could have helped to identify and fix any potential hazards that could have led to the accident.

• The Indian Railways could have increased the training of its employees. Employees could have been trained to identify and report potential hazards, and they could have been trained to respond to accidents in a timely and efficient manner.

• The Odisha train accident is a tragedy that could have been prevented. The Indian Railways needs to take steps to improve safety measures to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
