Two days after one of India’s worst train accidents at Bahanga Bazar in Odisha’s Balasore district, most railway tracks have been cleared of wrecked railway coaches overnight by a team of bulldozers and cranes so that railway services on the main trunk line connecting eastern and southern India can be restored, railway officials said on June 4.
Work on repairing tracks and overhead electric cables which had snapped is also going on, said officials.
