The safety and condition of India's railway network is at the centre of international attention following one of the deadliest accidents in the last 20 years. The collision between three trains, including one of freight, due to a problem with the electronic switching system, resulted in the death of at least 275 people.
For Jean-Joseph Boillot, a specialist in India and major emerging countries, this new tragedy comes after years of significant efforts by Indian railways. The Indian Railways is probably the largest railway organization in the world, even ahead of China.
