The Times of India reported that Óscar Puente, Spain's transport minister, has resigned six days after a deadly high-speed train collision near Madrid. The crash claimed 69 lives, and it marked the second serious rail disaster on the Madrid-Seville route within a single year, the report said. Pressure had been mounting since the October 28 incident, with opposition politicians and railway unions calling for Puente to leave his post. Puente accepted responsibility for both accidents and outlined new steps intended to strengthen safety on the rail network.
