Days after Balasore’s triple train tragedy, Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Monday said that he visited all the hospitals in Odisha where patients have been admitted.
“We visited all the hospitals in Odisha where patients have been admitted. We could not find anyone from Tamil Nadu. Of the eight people (who were untraceable), two have been traced and are safe. We are unable to reach six people but co-travellers said they are safe,” the minister said. Earlier on Sunday, Udhayanidhi Stalin said that the Union government should find out the reasons behind the Odisha train accident and take appropriate action against the concerned persons.
After reviewing the rescue operation in Odisha, Stalin said, “We inspected the hospital where people are getting treatment following the train accident. We got to know that no Tamilians were admitted to the hospital. None of the Tamil Nadu passengers lost their lives there as of now, all are safe”. He said that 28 out of 127 people who were travelling by train were Tamils.
Earlier on 3 June, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin announced assistance of Rs 5 lakh and Rs 1 lakh for the families of the Tamilians who lost their lives and were injured in the accident, respectively.
