Shame that local train users carried worse than cattle: HC
Wednesday, 26 June 2024 () In the order, the judges said the issue raised in the petition "needs urgent attention" of all concerned, specially higher-ups, including a Railway Board member and zonal safety commissioners. HC directed WR and Central Railway general managers to file an affidavit in reply to the PIL, and list measures to check mishaps. After receiving the replies, "HC may consider setting up a committee of commissioners/body of experts to conduct a study to suggest measures for meeting the challenge of daily train passenger deaths in Mumbai".
Following the Kanchenjunga Express train accident, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticised the Railway Ministry for neglecting passenger amenities and the well-being of railway employees, including officials, engineers, technical staff, and workers. She highlighted that their old pension has been withdrawn and accused the government of focusing more on elections and manipulation rather than governance. Congress leader Pawan Khera also condemned the government, pointing out the recurring nature of such tragic incidents and accusing the ministry of not learning from past mistakes. He criticised the ministers for visiting the incident site primarily for publicity and emphasised that in the past, leaders from his party would resign after such accidents, setting a standard of accountability.

Russia has sent its first coal shipments to India via the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a 7,200km multimodal route connecting St. Petersburg to Mumbai. This move aims to bypass Western sanctions and reduce shipping times.
India is increasing Russian coal imports, potentially becoming the top buyer within a decade. Simultaneously, Prime Minister Modi may visit Moscow in July, marking his first trip to Russia since 2019. These developments highlight strengthening economic and strategic ties between the two nations.
