The train collision that has left at least 288 dead and hundreds injured is one of the deadliest accidents on India’s notoriously dangerous rail network.
In the past two decades alone, the country has had at least 13 railway incidents that have each left more than 50 people dead, including three caused by deliberate attacks.
Before Friday’s accident, the most recent was in October 2018, when a speeding train ploughed into a crowd watching fireworks during a Hindu festival in the northern city of Amritsar, killing about 60.
