Barely 30 seconds before a train ran over 60 people celebrating Dussehra in Amritsar on Friday evening, another train had passed by from the opposite direction, slowly. The first train had started from the Amritsar railway station, about two kilometres from the accident site and was headed to Howrah in West Bengal. The second train, which was much faster, was headed from Jalandhar to its final destination, Amritsar.
