The Ministry of Railways has now revealed the findings from the Commissioner of Railway Safety's report, shedding light on the causes behind the incident.
The Ministry of Railways responded to questions raised by CPI(M) MP John Brittas in the Rajya Sabha and revealed what caused the triple-train crash in Odisha's Balasore district.
