Police did not turn up on time. We could see many local volunteers helping to search the compartments. Mutilated and mangled bodies were shown. Blood oozing injured persons were carried in make shift stretchers. No sign of paramedical staff or police or railway staff. Contents of bags were found strewn aound the track. Many police men were without rail coats. They were found drenching in the pouring rain.No sign of an ambulance till one hour of the accident. The home secretary says there is no connection between the Kashmir blasts and Mumbai blasts. He is sure about it. Minister at least said that he will investigate the cause. In what way these statements contained consolation to the victims or their relatives. Times channel was first to show the visuals and then followed by CNBC and later by NDTV. But were all not concerned about the dignity of the dead. They wanted to sensationalise the issue by showing the dead body. Even while verbal reporting, attempt is made to exaggerate the tragedy. This only create for fear. If there is any backlash it is because of the method of reporting by the media and the reaction of the leaders of administration.
