The tragedy of bomb blasts ...I was in the same train where the biggest blast of the serial blasts happened the day before..at Bhayander..
This train is the normal train from Churchgate which starts at 5.19 PM and reaches Vasai around 6.40 PM..I left early that day and caught the train.
We sit in middle first class as a group alwyas and some of our friends sit in the first class near the ladies first class compartment..I don't know what happened with them as there was havoc at that time...Blast happened in that compartment.
we got a big thrust to our train and thought it was some technical problem in the train and may be the overhead wire or something broke down....but
then the smoke started coming out...and we jumped on the tracks..and what we saw in the compartment just ahead of us was horrible...the compartment
was totally shattered and it was blood all over..
We were not in a position to do anything but stand in a big shock..then slowly we came to our senses and saw police,fire brigade and ambulances
approaching us...Local people who stay near the tracks also helped with water and first aid...
The advantage we got was we were in a group which comes to vasai everyday and we called for a car from vasai to pick us up via Ahmedabad
highway..and amidst of that havoc we still managed to reach home safely by 9.15 PM..via road..
Please find one attachment which is the first picture which I could take of the train in my mobile after I got into my senses before leaving the
disaster site...this is the blast which killed maximum people..and was the worst in all 7 blast..
I must thank god that I am safe and sound...and as you all are my friends..I must say..your good wishes are also with me always..thanks
guys..
Please refer my blog published in Jan 2005,which I escalated to Police,media and also upto home minister when I found one unidentified luggage in first class compartment some one and half years ago...this mail will give you the idea as how authorities play with commuter safety while travelling in train..and due to that negligence ..things like today happen...
After 4 months I received a call from railway police and they took my statement as the e-mail (copy attached below) which was marked to deputy chief minister of Maharashtra was lodged in as "FIR" and they investigation was made and the respective motorman of that train was put through disciplinary action.However the fact remains that it was the "reactive action" ..why the train was allowed to move only when I told the motorman that there was suspicious baggage?
Please read it and let me know your views!
Please note the date of the appended e-mail carefully..and you will know how authorities are compromising on security instances.
