Kalka Mail Tragedy ( Sunday, 10th July, 2011 )

1. Kalka Mail Tragedy (India)

2. Location Map

Sunday afternoon, 10th July
Kalka tragedy and many died

Howrah to Delhi rushing train
Schools reopened with the coming of rain

Malwan near Fatehpur accident site
Coaches mangled, a horrific sight

3. An Extremely  Sorrowful Day In Malwan  ( It is 35 km from Fatehpur, UP )

Rescue operation locals began
Army, Air Force with tools they ran

Cutting metals with gas cutters
Flying injured by Air Force 'copters

City hospital could take no more
Shagun Marriage Hall opened its door

Thanks to Hazi*, his hall turned ward
Supplied food and water,  Bless him Dear God

Private doctors too did their bit
Stitched and bandaged those badly hit

A silent prayer for all the dead
God alone consoles one's who are left

To pick up their luggage
And carry on with life

The goodness in humanity was seen that day
May not such a disaster come in anyone's way
