19 October 2018. It’s Dusshera. And Amritsar’s Dhobi Ghat has been holding Raavan's effigy burning for four years in a row in Joda Phatak. This area has two railways crossings and that should have raised concerns but nobody had raised any concerns before and neither were there any written permissions.
But that was the usual affair until a local passenger train travelling from Jalandhar station to Amritsar ran through the crowd that had spilled over onto the tracks and mowed down 62 people. On 19 October, this year it will be one year since the tragedy. And nobody has been held responsible yet, and the guilty hasn't been punished.
This The Big Story - the podcast where we dissect the headline making news for you and I'm Shorbori. In this episode we’re covering one year of the Amritsar Train tragedy. Did the the survivors and the families of victims get justice? Are there stricter regulations around the railway crossings? Tune in to The Big Story!
