� On a religious day, large number of people from under-‐developed rural area of North Bihar, India decided to visit the nearby Katyayani temple on Monday, 19th August 2013.
� The area is virtually having no proper road and the village road got affected by monsoon.
� People, having no other option, use Railway track which is on higher level to walk down to the place.
� This is highly unsafe as people are trespassing the railway track where trains are running at 100 kmph speed.
� On the fateful day, large number of people were walking on the Railway track and a speeding train ran over them, killing over 30 persons.
