3 accidents involving train-road traffic collisions in 3.5 years: Railway Minister

During the past three years and the current financial year up to July 20, 2025, there have been a total of three train accidents involving collisions at manned level crossing gates across the country, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday (July 30, 2025). Mr. Vaishnaw responded to questions concerning a recent incident involving a collision between a train and a school bus at a manned level crossing gate in the Tiruchchirappalli Rail Division (Cuddalore District) in Tamil Nadu, which resulted in the death of three students. In a written reply, the Minister detailed that the collision occurred on the morning of July 8, 2025, at the non-interlocked manned level crossing (MLC) gate no 170 on the Villupuram-Mayiladuturai section of the Tiruchchirappalli division of the southern railway. "In the said incident, three persons lost their lives and three persons sustained simple injuries. An inquiry has been set up to investigate the accident," he added. Regarding compensation, the Union Minister noted that the railways paid a total of ₹16 lakh to the next of kin of deceased and injured victims in train accidents at level crossings during the last three years, from 2022-23 to 2024-25. "In the Cuddalore collision case, an ex-gratia amount of ₹11 lakh has been paid to the next of kin of deceased and injured individuals," Mr. Vaishnaw said. He also highlighted the ongoing interlocking work aimed at eliminating manned level crossings and explained that the interlocking of a level crossing gate is a safety mechanism that ensures signals protecting the crossing gate will only allow a train to proceed when the route is clear, and the gate is closed and locked. "Presently, 11,096 manned level crossing gates have been interlocked. In Tamil Nadu, 1,053 manned level crossing gates have been interlocked so far, out of a total of 1,255 manned level crossing gates in the state. Further, the interlocking work has been taken up at 72 manned level crossings in the State," Mr. Vaishnaw said. He added that all Unmanned Level Crossings (UMLCs) on the running lines of the Broad Gauge (BG) network were eliminated by January 31, 2019. The Minister also discussed the construction of road-over-bridges (ROBs) and road-under-bridges (RUBs) as measures to eliminate level crossings. He explained that level crossings can be eliminated either by constructing ROBs/RUBs or by directly closing low-traffic crossings or diverting road traffic to nearby facilities, depending on site conditions. From 2004 to 2014, 4,148 ROBs and RUBs were built, while from 2014 until June 2025, a total of 13,426 ROBs/RUBs have been constructed, he said. Mr. Vaishnaw noted that as of April 1, 2025, 4,402 ROBs/RUBs have been sanctioned for ₹1,00,860 crore for the railways, including 235 ROBs/RUBs in Tamil Nadu for ₹4,669 crore, which are at various stages of planning and execution. "There are 92 LCs in Cuddalore, out of which 11 LCs were sanctioned for elimination by ROB/RUB. However, due to non-receipt of consent for closure for construction from the Tamil Nadu government, 7 RUB works could not be taken up," the Union Minister mentioned.

AM Best Assigns Credit Ratings to Commercial Re Overseas Limited

MEXICO CITY, July 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating (Long-Term ICR) of "a" (Excellent) to Commercial Re Overseas Limited (CRe) (Road Town, British Virgin Islands). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. The ratings reflect CRe's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). CRe is the captive reinsurer of Banco General, S.A. (BG), one of the largest banks in Panama. The market scope of CRe is limited to accept business from General de Seguros, S.A. (GS), its sister company. GS has a Long-Term ICR of "a" (Excellent) with a stable outlook and is an insurance subsidiary of BG. CRe and BG are ultimately owned by Grupo Financiero BG, S.A. (Panama), a publicly listed company with USD 3.7 billion in equity as of December 2024. CRe's business profile is considered neutral to the ratings due to the company being fully integrated into the group's operations. This interconnection allows CRe to leverage the group's resources, expertise and technological advances, enhancing operational efficiency. Concerns regarding concentration are mitigated by the fact that the company has served for 30 years as a captive to BG, and the importance of BG to Panama's financial system. AM Best assesses CRe's balance sheet strength at the strongest level due to its ample capital base with a clearly defined risk appetite. Somewhat limiting this assessment is the quality of capital concentrated in retained earnings rather than paid capital; nevertheless, dividend distribution has been prudent, historically. As of December 2024, the company reported sound underwriting ratios, due to a double screening on the underwriting side (by BG and GS) and to the operational efficiencies related to common processes with BG. The company has presented good profitability and quality of underwriting during the past years, rendering the operating performance strong. AM Best assesses CRe's ERM as appropriate, as the company has a clear risk management structure backed by the group's knowledge and aims to comply with its defined risk appetite according to its tolerances. The stable outlooks reflect AM Best's expectation that CRe will continue to develop its strategy in a profitable way, while maintaining its current level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), and prudent capital management practices. Factors that might lead to negative rating actions include any major changes in CRe's capital base, such as significant dividends or capital outflows, which diminish AM Best's view of the company's balance sheet strength. Negative rating actions could also take place if there are significant disruptions in business generation tied to its parent company that could impact either revenue or profitability. Although unlikely, positive rating actions could take place as a result of a change in AM Best's perception regarding the strategic importance of CRe to the group. This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website.
