Hundreds died in last week’s horrific train accident in India, but the faith of the father of the young man who was traveling in it paid off and his son was found alive.
The Orissa train accident in India will be counted among the worst train accidents in the country’s history, in which more than 300 people have died, bodies are scattered everywhere at the accident site and heartbreaking scenes are emerging. However, many miracles of nature are also appearing in such a situation, in which the father of the young man traveling in this train is sure that his son is alive.
According to Indian media, when the father of 24-year-old Biswajit, the victim of the Orissa accident on the Kuru Mandel Express, came to know about his ‘death’, instead of believing the news, he traveled 230 kilometers to the temporary morgue in Balasore. He reached the box where he started searching for his son and among the dead bodies was his son who was breathing but seriously injured.
Baswajit was rushed by his father Hela Ram Malik to Kolkata for treatment where he underwent surgery and is now reported to be out of danger.
According to the report, Biswajit’s elderly father Hela Ram, a shopkeeper in Howrah, West Bengal, left his son at Shalimar station on Friday, but after a few hours he got the heartbreaking news of the accident, after which he took his son. When contacted on the phone, he was seriously injured but alive.
After contacting his son on phone, Hela Ram wasted no time in calling the local ambulance driver Palash Pandit and his brother-in-law Deepak Das, after which he left for Balasore with them that night. They traveled 230 km that night and searched extensively at the accident site but could not find Biswajit anywhere.
A local man then told them that if their son was nowhere to be found, they should go and look for him at Bahanga High School where the bodies are kept.
Hela Ram said that we were sure that Baswajit was alive and we reached Bahanga High School to look for him but we were not allowed to see the dead bodies. The right hand is shaking, we see that it belongs to Biswajit, who is unconscious and in great pain. We rushed him in an ambulance and first took him to the nearest hospital where he was given first aid and after some improvement in his condition we discharged him to the Kolkata hospital.
Ambulance diver Palash Pandit said that the young man remained unconscious all the way. So far Biswajit has undergone two surgeries on his knee while he has several fractures in his right hand but his condition is now out of danger.
