    #AmritsarTrainTragedy: Train driver says he was given green signal

    In the aftermath of the tragic Amritsar accident that killed 60 people, the driver of the train responsible was detained and questioned by the Punjab and the Railway police. Speaking to the police, the driver revealed that he had been given the green all-clear signal to move ahead, and had no idea that hundreds had gathered on the tracks. Here's more.

    Railway officials are also questioning linemen about the accident

    The driver of the 74643 Jalandhar-Amritsar diesel multiple unit (DMU) train is still being questioned by the police at the Ludhiana railway station. Meanwhile, Railway officials are also questioning linemen posted along the railway tracks near the accident site of Jora Pathak for failing to inform the DMU driver about the presence of hundreds of people on the railway tracks.

    The search for the event organizers is on

    Following the accident, the Railways had labelled the gathering as 'trespassing', saying that they had not received any information about the Dussehra celebrations taking place on the railway tracks. The Railways had also said that police had failed to prevent the gathering. Police are currently trying to trace the organizers of the Dussehra event that led to the tragedy, but they remain untraceable.
