According to the special source, the incident took place when Jalandhar Amritsar D.M Express was coming at 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 firecrackers, 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 a 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 the Dussehra organizers as well as the rail authority. The Punjab government declared Rs. 500000 for each dead 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 the vigorous inquiry.
