India’s biggest mover of things – its railways run more than 13,000 trains ferrying close to 400 crore people. Even with the rapid emergence of new and faster trains, the story has lately teetered on the brink of derailment. The Balasore accident, which happened in June, was India’s deadliest train crash in almost three decades. But who is to be blamed? Host Anirban Chowdhury talk about the safety issues with Ravinder Gupta, (Retired) Director General, Safety at Ministry of Railways, S K Choubey, East Coast Railway President - All India Loco Running Staff Association, M M Roly, National Vice President, All India Loco Running Staff Association Southern Railway, and ET’s Twesh Mishra.
