    My house is near by central railway station, we have totally disturbed by this railway horn noise day and night ,unnecessarily these railway drivers blowing horn continuously ,specially in the early morning hours , it is most irritating, i do not understand why they are blowing and what for ?
    In this case did railway driver was blind?

    Tragic!! RIP!! But, just fail to understand how a person was not able to get off a veil entangled on the railway track as apposed to a veil suddenly entangling on two wheeler moving at high speed!! Also, how is it possible none of them got aware of a train till it coming so near to them!!!

    RIP VARSHA.. none of Indian attire is safe either saree or shawl or burga not safe when working in factories, riding bike or motor cycle sorry to say this, pant and shirt or skirt with legging would be best. many countries ban Indian outfits

    here i think she was too much involved in her camera ,that she failed to take care of herself.
    attire doesnt matter here either indian or foreign.

    i pray maa durga on this auspicious navraatra festival to grant her soul peace and give strength to her parents and siblings to overcome this unbearable loss.

    Feel sorry for loosing young life. May her soul rest in peace. Girls should be careful while using veil specially travelling by two wheelers, getting into the bus, lots of accidents have taken place.

    For safety reasons of girls and ladies, Veil should be shorted or find other way of clothing I know quite a few cases One of my neighbor got killed while her veil got entangled riding bike. Saries and other Indian dresses could be beautiful and looking great but girls need to be cautious even while traveling in the bus.

    Untimely the saddest demise. Surely very difficult to digest the true incident.


    Our truthful condolences to the bereaved Varsha's family members. We assure our Heavenly prayers. Let us not forget that we are from one Eternal God and we are to God a day.

    Through death God our only beloved Savior takes us to eternal life. When we are in this world, God wants us to love each other and all the things which He created. We should work sincerely and lead a good life through which we can prepare ourselves for our own death and thus we follow in the path of Jesus Christ who died for our sins.


    May her untimely demised soul R.I.P Amen
