Indian Railways rejects communal angle over Odisha train accident

As investigations are still underway by the CBI, rumours are being circulated on social media platforms alleging that a Soro railway signal Junior Engineer (JE) and his family are untraceable from June 2, the night when the monstrous triple train accident took place in Odisha claiming 292 lives and injuring thousands.

However, the Chief Public



Relation Officer (CPRO) of the Eastern Railway has denied such reports adding that the Railways staff is fully cooperating with the central investigation agency.

“A few media reports have stated that a Bahanaga staff is absconding and missing. This is factually incorrect. None of our officials have been absent from duty ever since the train tragedy.
