As the nation mourns the loss of over 200 lives in the devastating train collision in Odisha, speculations about a possible conspiracy behind the incident have emerged, although an official investigation by the railways is yet to be launched.
While it is crucial to approach such speculations with caution and await the findings of a comprehensive investigation, recent attacks on trains targeting the BJP-led government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot be overlooked. These incidents raise concerns about the potential involvement of foul play in the tragic train accident.
“I have given out an order to conduct a high-level probe to find out why this accident happened…it is important to get to the root cause: Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

The collision, which resulted in the derailment of eight coaches of the Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel Express near Bahanaga railway station in Balasore district, has left the nation in shock. Sudhanshu Sarangi, the director general of Odisha Fire Services, confirmed the death toll of over 200 and expressed fear that the number might increase as serious injuries, including head injuries, are prevalent among the survivors.
In light of recent events, it is important to emphasize that at this stage, speculations should not overshadow the ongoing rescue and relief operations, nor undermine the pain and suffering of the victims and their families. However, the possibility of a conspiracy cannot be completely ruled out until a thorough investigation is conducted to determine the exact cause of the collision.
The Indian Railways is expected to initiate a comprehensive inquiry to uncover the circumstances leading to this tragic incident. It will be crucial for the investigation to assess various factors, including potential sabotage or other external influences, to provide a clear understanding of the incident.
As the nation mourns this devastating loss of life, it is imperative that the focus remains on extending support to the victims and their families, ensuring adequate medical treatment for the injured, and conducting a meticulous investigation to ascertain the truth behind the tragedy.
