Greece Train Accident: Protesters Take Part In Demonstrations In Greece | Station Master Jailed

A Greek railway employee was jailed on Sunday pending trial over a deadly train crash that killed at least 57 people, as Greeks seethed with anger over the worst rail disaster in living memory. The man was arrested just hours after a passenger train collided head-on with a freight train killing at least 57 people and injuring scores more. The 59-year-old man was a station master, but cannot be named under Greek law. He faces multiple charges of disrupting transport and putting lives at risk. He was questioned for seven hours before a magistrate before being detained. Meanwhile, clashes erupted between police and demonstrators in the capital, after thousands rallied to protest over the crash. The video showed demonstrators throwing objects including petrol bombs at riot police who responded with volleys of tear gas. Earlier, some 10,000 people had gathered in an Athens square to express sympathy for the lives lost and to demand better safety standards on the rail network. #greece #traincrash #protest Moneycontrol is India's leading financial and business portal with in-depth market coverage, analysis, expert opinions, and a gamut of financial tools.
