Odisha train crash | Survivors remain traumatised; some wait for news of missing loved ones

Many survivors of the train crash in Odisha on June 2 were unscathed but the close shave with death and the potential loss of loved ones for some has left them emotionally disturbed.

Sachin Kumar, 20, from Nawada district of Bihar had boarded the ill-fated Coromandel Express to spend some time with his brother who has a shop in Chennai. “I was sitting on the upper berth of a general coach of Coromandel Express. Sudden, the train shook violently. Within a fraction of second, the berth was upside down. When I managed to bring myself out of the coach, I did not find my brother Rabindra,” narrated Sachin, who despite his injuries refused to leave the accident site without his brother.
