A batch of 31 sub-junior volleyball players from Karnataka who were stranded in Kolkata following the train crash in Balasore in Odisha, will fly to Bengaluru on Sunday.
Though they were not on board when the ill-fated trains collided on Friday evening, the players were supposed to return home by the same train later in the night.
D. Mahadev, coach of the players who are aged 16 and below, said that they were supposed to board the train on the night of June 2 but the accident led to the cancellation of the corresponding rake for the return journey.
