    Very unfortunate! Because of unemployment and dreams of better future people are moving towards green pasture and ending with tragedy! Man proposes God disposes.May the departed soul rest in peace.Those who injured praying for their speedy recovery. Govt. of India should take appropriate measures with Saudi Govt.so the victims/families should be compensated adequately.
