West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized the central government after the Kanchanjunga Express collision, which killed 9 and injured 60 near New Jalpaiguri. Banerjee, a former Railways Minister, condemned the absence of the anti-collision device, Kavach, calling the railways "parentless." She emphasized the need for better passenger safety and criticized the current focus on "grand inaugurations and beautifications" instead of essential amenities. Banerjee demanded improved attention to railway staff and passenger protection, urging the government to prioritize governance over election strategies.
