As it is emerging, the train was scheduled to be stationed at platform 4. But the mismanagement as it is endemic in India, the train was pulled at platform 6 without prior announcement. A clear invitation to pandemonium. As it logically should have been, there was a rush. Adding insult to the injuries, police lathi-charged the rushing crowd.
And this all happened amidst pilgrims were robbed for 5 to 20 rupees per person special mela surcharge. Do your math, that counts for more than 100 crores of extra earning for railways.
The question is, who is accountable for this mismanagement? Who will pay for the deaths?
