In one of India's most horrific train accidents, 261 people have been killed so far in the three-train collision that happened near Balasore in Odisha. The two trains involved were the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express, the Shalimar-Chennai Central Coromandel Express, and a goods train. It seems one of the trains rammed into the other so fast that the coaches were derailed and went flying. A number of celebrities have come forward to mourn the incident on social media. Narendra Modi, the PM is taking stock of the situation on ground. Around 900 people have been injured so far. The state of Odisha has announced mourning for a day. The Coromandel Express is one of the top trains from Kolkata to Chennai.
Now, YouTube sensation CarryMinati has said that he will do a charity stream tonight. He has urged his followers to donate whatsoever they can for the victims. This is not the first time that CarryMinati has come forward to help people in need. In 2020, he raised money for the Bihar and Assam floods. He had raised Rs 11 lakh and donated some amount from his own pocket. Fans of the YouTuber have hailed his initiative. Take a look at the tweets...
It's really sad to hear about the Odisha train accident, Doing a charity stream at 9 pm today. Please come & support with whatever amount is possible from your side doesn't matter small or big every contribution counts.
