Workers restore railway tracks at the end of rescue and search operation after an accident involving three trains, near Bahanga Bazar railway station in Balasore district.

The Odisha train accident claimed of 289 lives and injured over 1,000.

Every life lost means a family shattered and a livelihood snatched. While we cannot bring those we lost back to life, we can certainly pitch in to help their families and organisations engaged in helping them.

Even those who survived carry mental scars of the tragedy. A report says that more than a third of patients from the Balasore accident at a hospital in Cuttack are showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This shows that surviving the disaster is just the first step on the long road of recovery.
