After the pandemic tragic period, this incident put everyone of us shoked.
I as a reporter visited the Jeypore railway station where I did find a deafening silence prevalent around. Sitting inside the platform, couldn’t control myself. Asked God why not to put the correct signal. Human beings are erroneous but not the Almighty God.
After half an hour calm and composed posture along with internal monologue, mustered courage to return home. While returning, my vision fell on the two dogs laying on the floor of Jeypore railway station. Some food stuff being offered to them remained unconsumed. It sparked an emotion within me. ” The rail tragedy of Balesore couldn’t console the animals even ” oh! God help us is only the clamouring for peace and longing for their peaceful existence somewhere in the vast cosmic world unknown to us” Only Tears.my tributes!
