Indian railways minister says signaling system error led to crash that killed over 300 people
A train derailment in eastern India that killed over 300 people and injured hundreds more was caused by an error in the electronic signalling system that led to a train changing tracks mistakenly.
India's railway minister said an investigation would reveal who was responsible and why.
Despite government efforts to improve rail safety, hundreds of accidents occur every year on India's railways, the largest train network under one management in the world.
