The West Bengal Migrant Workers Union
on Tuesday 6 June has demanded a
judicial probe on the derailment of the Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel express
train near Bahanaga railway station in Odisha’s Balasore district on Friday 2
June evening.
According to them, those travelling
in the unreserved compartment of the train and killed should be identified and
their indemnities should be disclosed officially, said the union’s state chief
and former CPI-M legislator S.M. Sadi.
“West Bengal has a large number of migrant workers.
As the records of the casualties in the train from West Bengal have been
identified, the majority were migrant workers. Our demand is one job for one family member for each of the migrant
worker casualties in the train accident,” he said.
Sadi also said that often the migrant workers from
West Bengal die in accidents in other states. “But unfortunately, they do not
get the necessary compensation. We do not want the same thing to be repeated in
this case as well. Hence, we are also demanding a judicial probe in the
matter.”
He also said that it would have been better if the state government had announced a better compensation package for the families of the casualties. “But whatever it may be, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should ensure that the compensation and job offers do not remain promises and those go to the right people,” Sadi added.
