Five days after the tragic triple train accident near the Bahanaga Bazar station in Odisha’s Balasore, it was business as usual here with a handful passengers, including a few sightseers thronging the tiny way station. “I shiver at the thought of what the victims went through … Though I don’t suspect sabotage, I’m sure there’s a need to look at every angle during any probe,” Arjun said. Though many trains still stand cancelled, I hope the route will be fully operational in the next couple of days,” he said. “Four days have passed and I have checked almost all hospitals in Balasore, Bhubaneswar and Cuttack over the last three days but haven’t found him,” he told reporters.
