Just few days before the Gaisal disaster, I was in the Brahmaputra Mail on my way to NCB from DLI. The train derailed at a station named Altagram (before its stoppage Dhupguri). 4 people died in that accident But I couldn't find any news regarding that these days. That news was printed in all local newspapers.
My dad had travelld on the same day the Perumon tragedy occured. Dad travelled in the train that went past the bridge 1 hr before Island Express got the tragedy. and dad too travelled on the same day when the bridge was opened for traffic after this incident
touched to read the incident report. the SM was so much so grieved that he committed suicide as he held himself accountable for the deaths.
