India's Deadly Train Mishaps: A Call for Improved Safety Measures.

Families and rescuers are searching for more victims of India's worst rail crash in over two decades, which killed at least 288 people on Friday. Signal failure is believed to be the likely cause of the accident. Indian Railways, which transports over 13 million people daily, has had a patchy safety record due to ageing infrastructure. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the scene on Saturday to talk to rescue workers and inspect the wreckage. Families of the dead will receive 1 million rupees ($12,000) in compensation, while the seriously injured will get 200,000 rupees, with 50,000 rupees for minor injuries.
