Amritsar Train Accident: Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu Condole The Tragic Loss Of Lives
Deeply shocked and saddened by the Amritsar train tragedy, several Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter to condole the tragic loss of lives in this mishap.
Last
night,
tragedy
struck
at
a
Dussehra
celebration
in
Amritsar
where
at
least
58
people
lost
their
lives
and
72
injured
after
a
crowd
of
Dussehra
revellers,
that
had
spilled
onto
railway
tracks
while
watching
burning
of
Ravana
effigy,
was
run
over
by
a
train.
About
300
people
had
gathered
to
watch
'Ravana
Dahan'
at
a
ground
adjacent
to
the
railway
tracks
at
Joda
Phatak.
Reportedly,
when
the
effigy
was
lit
and
the
fireworks
went
off,
a
section
of
the
crowd
started
retreating
towards
the
tracks
where
a
large
number
of
people
were
already
standing
to
watch
the
event.
Unfortunately,
two
trains
arrived
from
the
opposite
direction
at
the
same
time
giving
little
opportunity
to
people
to
escape.
As
a
result
of
this,
several
people
were
mowed
down
by
one
of
the
trains.
Deeply
shocked
and
sadden
by
this
incident,
several
Bollywood
celebrities
took
to
Twitter
to
condole
the
tragic
loss
of
lives
in
this
