The Deputy High Commission of Bangladesh in Kolkata has opened a hotline for information about any Bangladeshi passengers who may have been on one of the three trains that collided in Odisha, India, late on Friday, killing and injuring hundreds.
The Deputy High Commission of Bangladesh in Kolkata said on Friday that some Bangladeshis might have been on board the trains as many Bangladeshi passengers travel from Kolkata to Chennai using this route for treatment. For this reason, the deputy high commission has opened a hotline (+919038353533 WhatsApp) for Bangladeshis to inquire about the accident.
At least 288 people were killed and more than 850 injured in a horrific three-train collision in India, officials said Saturday, the country's deadliest rail accident in more than 20 years.
Images from the crash site showed smashed train compartments torn open with blood-stained holes near Balasore, in the eastern state of Odisha.
