New Delhi, May 8 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday expressed condolence over the death of 14 migrant workers in a train accident in Maharashtra's Aurangabad.

The Prime Minister also took stock of the situation after the tragic incident in a telephonic conversation with Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and said that the minister was closely monitoring the situation.

"Extremely anguished by the loss of lives due to the rail accident in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. Have spoken to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal and he is closely monitoring the situation," the Prime Minister tweeted.

 

"All possible assistance required is being provided."

All the 14 migrant labourers were crushed to death early on Friday by a goods train in Maharashtra after they fell asleep on the tracks. The home-bound exhausted lot of workers were run over between Jalna and Aurangabad.

It is yet not clear from where this group hailed and where they were going.

Amid the nationwide lockdown, thousands of migrant workers stranded in several other cities have started their journey to return to their native places on foot.

The interstate bus service, passenger, mail and express train services have been suspended since March 24.

The railways has started running Shramik Special trains to transport the stranded migrants to their native places since May 1.

    All possible help will be given after the death of 14 migrant workers, why it was not given earlier?

    When lockdown was announced why there was no plan to take care of them, no plan to feed them and no plan to transport them. They were just left out to mend their ways. In the independence India we saw people, including pregnant ladies, children walking for thousands of kilometers without even a arrangement of providing water on the way. Some lost their life on the way. Such a insensitive government is not heard of.

    Now crocodile tears after the lives are lost. These are the same people who voted for you Mr. Modi. How can you be so inhuman?

    where was this "all possible help being provided" when funds was being pumped into PM Cares at the beginning of lock down when the poor migrants were made to suffer first by hunger then they were made to walk miles to their villages, your govt from note bandi itself is famous for changing goalpost after goalpost. first u made people to clap hands then made to light up diyas then showering flowers and at last after exhausting all methods made most of the fellows line up in front of liquor outlets so that at the end of the day you forget everything sleep to get up next morning in a slumber ,

    When the Aberfan disaster of a tall and forbidding hill of coal waste collapsed, sending around 300,000 cubic yards of coal slurry directly into Pantglas Junior School, killing 116 school children and 28 teachers and others on 21 October 1966, Her Highness Queen Elizabeth II wisely delayed her visit to Aberfan in the aftermath, much to the aversion and criticism of the public.

    Tony Snowdon drove down in the middle of the night, Prince Philip came down the next day and toiled as rescue workers. The queen initially resisted because of a worry that people would be looking after HER instead of looking for the missing children.

    Leaders are such, who from a distance, consult, control and empathetically assist in the disaster instead of making a vote-earning visit in clean speck-free outfits to pay sympathy, mess up the disaster recovery process and add a few more deaths in the bargain.

    That is the difference between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, recent cases being Vizag gas leak and Aurangabad track deaths.

    Are you just showing off your general knowledge or are you trying to say something, in the latter case, you'd better be precise and to the point. For GK, we have google.

    @Sanjeev Kamath, Udupi,
    Have you been informed from BJP caders that they have corrupted MLA's of Kanataka and Madhya Pradesh offering multi crores to grab power.

    The whole band of BJP top brass was busy in Namaste Trump and in procuring MLA's from Karnataka and M.P.
    As a result, tackling of CoronaVirus became hazardous, time ran out.
    Finally when he was acting his drama it was delayed.
    One of the BJP M.P.,,was telling Corona Virus was a blessings in disguise!
    He said rightly, with the virus they recovered millions in their pockets.
