New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh government will give compensation of Rs 10 lakh and a job to the families of those killed in the train accident in Mathura early Wednesday, the state's Agriculture Minister Laxminarain Choudhry said.
At least 13 people were killed when two Delhi-bound passenger trains collided early Wednesday in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura city. Hours after the Goa Express rammed into the stationary Mewar Express, several people continued to be trapped in the mangled carriages.
More than 20 people were injured in the accident that occurred around 5 a.m. at an outer signal, about 55 km from here.
Earlier, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee announced a compensation of Rs 500,000 for families of people who died in the accident, apart from Rs 100,000 for those seriously injured and Rs 10,000 for passengers who sustained minor injuries
