Rail probe finds lapses, faults station master

The three-train crash in Odisha's Bahanaga Bazar on June 2 that killed 294 people could have been averted had the station master reported "repeated unusual behaviour" of signals at the crossover point through which the south-bound Coromandel Express wrongly entered a loopline and crashed into a stationary goods train, according to a report of an inquiry by the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) that TOI has accessed.
