NEW DELHI: India witnessed a notable decline in new Covid-19 cases over the past 24 hours, with only 234 infections reported, according to the Union Health Ministry’s statement on Saturday.

This decline comes after a recent surge in cases caused by the XBB.1.16 Omicron variant. The number of active cases has decreased to 3,502, while the country has registered a loss of 5,31,878 lives since the pandemic’s onset.

Health experts have observed a decrease in hospital admissions as fewer cases of Covid-19 are being reported. However, individuals who are elderly or have underlying health conditions remain at risk of contracting the virus.

Consequently, doctors strongly advise this vulnerable population to receive their booster shots if they have not done so already and continue adhering to appropriate COVID-19 protocols.

India train accident caused by error with signaling system, railway official says

that killed 275 people and injured hundreds was caused by an error in the electronic signaling system that led a train to wrongly change tracks and crash into a freight train, officials said Sunday.Authorities worked to clear the mangled wreckage of the two passenger trains that derailed Friday night in Balasore district in Odisha state in one of the country’s deadliest rail disasters in decades.An Odisha government statement revised the death toll to 275 after a top state officer put the number at over 300 on Sunday morning. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to reporters.Jaya Verma Sinha, a senior railway official, said the preliminary investigations revealed that a signal was given to the high-speed Coromandel Express to run on the main track line, but the signal later changed, and the train instead entered an adjacent loop line where it rammed into a freight loaded with iron ore.Rescue workers gather around damaged carriages during search for survivors at the accident site of a three-train collision near Balasore, about 200 km (125 miles) from the state capital Bhubaneswar in the eastern state of Odisha, on June 3, 2023.
