-by a staff reporter,
Amritsar, Oct 20: The whole nation got shocked knowing the very tragic train accident took place in Amrtisar, Punjab at about 6.15 PM on the day before. According to the special source, the incident took place when Jaladhar Amritsar D.M Express was coming with a high speed and at that time almost 100 people were standing on the same track near Jadaphatak to enjoy Dussehra. The eyewitness said that due to darkness and due to the extreme sound of fire crackers, the people on the track did not notice the approaching train. The source added that the death toll crossed 61 and at least 200 people got injured. The local people came to rescue the victims. The seriously wounded persons were sent to nearby hospital. The minor wounded persons were released after first aid. The people, who got saved, became mum. The whole locality came under unnatural silence. The political parties have begun to blame on the Dussehra organizers as well as the rail authority. The Punjab government declared Rs. 500000 for each death person’s family. The angry people blocked the rail truck and as a result of it, many trains have been suspended. The state government and rail authority have started vigorous inquiry.
