Indian Railways says deaths, injuries from accidents fall amid safety crackdown
The railways has suspended several officials since the incident, and its chairman acknowledged that turning around the culture and image of a government behemoth that employed 1.3 million and ran around 22,000 trains daily was going to take time, despite the safety success seen in 2017/18.
Ashwani Lohani said the railways was considering bringing in local private companies to run new tourist trains and be involved in overhauling of some stations. Image source: PTI
