I will stage protest on railway tracks for this," said Golu, who family members were killed in the train mishap."My father and uncle died in the accident, the government has given nothing to me. Tomorrow, I will sit along with all the others on the railway tracks," said Deepak Kumar another person who was affected by the accident.At least 60 people were killed at the Dhobi Ghat ground in Choura Bazar near Jhoda Phatak area in Amritsar on October 19 last year after a speeding train ran over a crowd of Dussehra revellers, which had spilled onto the railway tracks, while watching the burning of a Ravana effigy.
