On Indian Railways medical help: Something 'terribly wrong', says SC
Even the Railways has last week admitted in Lok Sabha that over 1,600 passengers died on board trains in the past three years. "You (Railways) do not have even the basic first aid facility? You are not telling us about it. If it (medical facility) is not there, then there is something terribly wrong," a bench of justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta said.
The top court asked the counsel appearing for the Railway Board to file an affidavit within two weeks giving details of the medical facilities at railway stations. Image source: Reuters
