Tragic moment when train mows down people at Dussehra celebrations in Amritsar

Several people were killed after a train ran into crowds at Joda Phatak crossing in Amritsar. The number of dead and injured is still not clear but different sources quoted different casualty figures ranging between 30 and 60 dead.

A large number of people had gathered to watch the Ravana burning near Joda Phatak crossing. When the effigy caught fire, they ran helter-skelter in a near-stampede.
