Punjab : Over the last few days, Dalbir Singh had donned the role of Ravana in the Ramlila celebrations in Amritsar. However, on Dussehra, he met a similar fate as that of the character he played. Dalbir was among the 60 people who were killed in the massive train accident at the Dussehra celebrations in Amritsar on Friday.
He is survived by his mother, wife and an eight-month-old baby. With Dalbir being the sole bread earner, the hapless family is now looking up to the government for help. “I appeal to the government to provide a job to my daughter-in-law. She also has an 8-month old baby,” Dalbir’s mother said.
At least 60 were killed and scores injured when a local train ran over people gathered to watch Dussehra celebrations in Choura Bazar near Amritsar.
