Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha has blamed the organisers of the Dussehra celebrations for the train accident at Amritsar yesterday. Mr Sinha who visited the accident site, said, whenever such functions are organised, the local administration gives permission but in this case it was not done so.

He regretted that the railways was not informed about the function.

The Minister said people should restrain from organizing such events near railway tracks in future. Mr Sinha said, now the priority is to provide the best possible medical attention to the injured.
