Meanwhile, just a few days after the infamous Balasore train crash, a goods train in Odisha ran over six labourers crushing them to death. The incident took place in Odisha’s Jajpur Road railway station. At least six labourers were dead and two others were critically injured, PTI reported.
A Railways spokesperson said, “There was a sudden thunderstorm. The labourers were working at a railway siding where a goods train was standing stationary. They sheltered under it but unfortunately, the goods train which did not have an engine attached to it started moving causing the accident."
