NEW DELHI: An Assamese man was rescued from the wreckage of the catastrophic quadruple train accident in Odisha after being stuck there for two days without food or drink. Dulal Mazumdar becomes the fourth Assamese to escape the Odisha triple train crash that claimed the lives of over 288 people and injured close to 1100 others.
Dulal Mazumdar, who was involved in the collision and sustained serious injuries, fell some distance from the scene of the accident. Workers restoring the damaged rails discovered Dulal, who was discovered in a serious condition, alive.
According to reports, he was then swiftly transported to the closest medical facility in Soro. He was eventually sent to the Balasore Hospital for specialized treatment because of the seriousness of his head wounds.
According to sources, even though his status is described as stable, he is still not safe. Rupak Das, another survivor from Assam is now being treated at a hospital in Cuttack. On June 4, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) would look into the train collision in Balasore, Odisha, which occurred a few days before.
The CBI is prepared to take over the probe into the Balasore train accident, and Monday morning's passage of the first semi-high-speed Vande Bharat train signaled the return of train traffic on the vital route uniting eastern and southern India. According to authorities, the Friday tragedy has given rise to a case being filed by the Odisha police under several sections of the IPC and the Railway Act, including those that deal with causing death by carelessness.
According to a report, The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) issued a warning to the union government on significant flaws in the risk control measures used by various Indian Railways departments last year.
On the other hand, in the report, the CAG specifically noted that there was a lack of a systematic mechanism for monitoring the implementation of policies, processes, and procedures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents at other locations in its report on "Derailment in Indian Railways" for the year ending in March 2021, which was published last year.
