New Delhi: Even ticketless travellers who were on board the two passenger trains involved in the horrific rail accident at Bahanaga Bazar in Odisha’s Balasore district will receive compensation, as per a Supreme Court order.
“Irrespective of the passengers being ticketless (or not), they will receive compensation,” Railway spokesperson Amitabh Sharma said.
Indian Railways has so far disbursed Rs 3.22 crore as ex-gratia in 285 cases — 11 deaths, 50 grievous injuries and 224 minor injuries.
Ex-gratia amounts are being given from seven locations — Soro, Kharagpur, Balasore, Khantapara, Bhadrak, Cuttack and Bhubaneswar.
Around 200 victims of Friday’s terrible tragedy are yet to be identified. South Eastern Railway has put up their photographs on its website for identification purposes.
