Gour Express: আমের শহর মালদা থেকে রোজ যায় শিয়ালদা - Joydeep Roy

It is so sad to hear such news again and again. Some accidents are caused due to traffic blocks to reach railway stations, some due to lack of adequate ticket booking counter facilities, some due to lack of proper announcement¬ifications, some due to last second rush, some due to carelessness and in some cases, all these factors are joined together.

When they tried to get into the train, husband jumped with new born baby into the train and wife and 2 other children were fearing to enter the train, as the train accelerated immediately and started running very fast. When the wife and children tried to enter the train, their face got hit by the coaches and were injured. Luckily, the train slowed after few seconds and they all were able to get in to the train. Like these incidents happen everywhere. Sometimes, due to heavy rush, passengers need to travel on footboards, especially office hour time.
