Odisha train accident: Railway Minister waves, prays as movement resumes at crash site

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw waved and prayed as the first train movement began on the accident site near Balasore station where three trains collided on June 2. The damaged tracks were restored in 51 hours.

The train carrying coal was headed towards the Rourkela Steel plant from Vizag port and was on the same track where the ill-fated Bangalore-Howrah train met with the tragedy on Friday.

The Howrah-bound train crashed with the capsized bogies of the Coromandel Express which had collided with a stationary freight train seconds earlier.

"Down-line restoration complete. First train movement in section," tweeted Ashwini Vaishnaw.
