A goods train collided with the Kanchanjungha Express near New Jalpaiguri, leaving multiple dead and over 60 injured. The tragedy reignited questions about Kavach, Indian Railways’ anti-collision system meant to prevent signal breaches and speed in poor visibility. Despite its safety promise, rollout remains incomplete, with Railways targeting coverage of 70,000 km.
British police say one of two men arrested after a stabbing incident on a London-bound train has been released without charge. Officers also praised a “heroic” member of railway staff who helped during the chaos. The investigation continues into what happened Saturday night as authorities assess evidence and the remaining suspect remains detained.
