AMRITSAR: dussehra celebrations turned frightful in amritsar on friday evening when a speeding train ran over hundreds of people who were watching ravana's effigy going up in flames....at least 60 people were dead till now and more than 60 people were injured.....

The tragedy took place at the joda fatak area where a huge crowd had gathered to watch the dussehra....when firecrackers went off, the organisers of the dussehra asked people to move back.a large number of people moved towards the railway tracks.....

At the that time ,jalandar -amritsar DMU was crossing the spot....

WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT:

                       "AMRITSAR tragedy was due to trespassing ,not railways fault"

                Minister of state for railway manoj sinha said there was no negligence on the part of the railways,and the driver couldn't have seen the crowds due to a curve in the tracks.....

           The incident was not a railways fault.there was no lapse on our part and no action against the pilot will be initiated.

 Vivek kumar , the divisional railway manager, ferozpur, said the driver had been questioned but no lapse could be found at his end....bec beca the train speed is that time 91kmph but had slowed down to 68kmph before the first impact when a crowd was spotted on the track.....

" And this is also the fault of organisers because they should inform railway department regarding this celebration........"
