Tragedy strikes Dussehra day: Major train mishap in Amritsar, around 50 feared dead

Around 50 people are feared dead on Friday in a tragic train accident in Choura Bazar near Amritsar. As per initial reports, people watching the burning of Ravan effigy on the occasion of the Dussehra celebrations were standing alongside the railway tracks and could not hear the sound of the train approaching due to the crackers' noise. 

 

The toll is expected to rise over 100. There were around 500-700 people at the spot. The accident took place near the Jodha Phatak area.

 

The moment the effigy of Ravan caught fire, crackers started flying around. While trying to escape the crackers, people frantically started running on the railway tracks and could not see the approaching trains from either side of the tracks.

How can they even allowed to do it near Railway tracks?

Punjab: At gate no. 27 b/w Amritsar & Manawala. As Dussehra celebration was taking place some incident had occurred & people started rushing towards closed gate number 27 while a DMU train number 74943 was passing the closed gate.
