    There have been numerous deadly train accidents in India due to various factors such as human error, equipment failure, and natural disasters. Some of the major accidents included 800 deaths in 1981 when a cyclone blew a train off its tracks into a river, and 300 deaths in 1999 when two trains collided in Kolkata. While human error is inevitable, safety measures could help reduce risks if the government invested more in infrastructure, new technologies, and staff training. Suggested improvements included ultrasonic track scanning, automatic level crossings, and advanced emergency systems. Overall, both railway authorities and passengers need to work together to improve safety.
