Meanwhile, Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim talked to the train passengers inquired about their condition, and gathered information about the incident.

 

Let us tell you that on Monday, a freight train hit the Kanchenjunga Express train standing near Jalpaiguri from behind.

Fear in the minds of passengers after the accident

 

Vaishali Bhattacharya, a passenger aboard the Kanchenjunga Express train that reached Sealdah railway station, said that she was in the S-7 bogie when the train crashed. All the passengers were sleeping in the morning. Everyone woke up due to the sudden jolt. It was found that the accident happened in the rear coaches. The parents are also worried after the accident. After the repair work, the train left for Sealdah, he could not sleep again on the train, because after the accident, there was fear in his mind.

 

The central government is waiting for people to die: Firhad Hakim

 

After talking to the passengers, Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim talked to the media. He said that a help desk has been set up for the convenience of the passengers. All the employees of the Transport Department, Ministers and Secretaries are here. All the injured are undergoing treatment. During this, he also targeted the central government. Hakim said that the BJP-led central government is not doing anything. They are playing with the lives of the people. The people sitting in the central government are waiting for people to die by not paying attention to this issue. All this is because the BJP government wants to privatize the railways.

 

The driver of the goods train crossed the signal: CPRO

 

Eastern Railway CPRO Kaushik Mitra said that a doctor, food, and ambulance have been arranged for the passengers. We have also arranged more than 10 beds at the railway station. Prima facie it seems that the driver of the goods train crossed the signal, due to which this rail accident happened.
