Hello and welcome to N. D. TV 24 7. I'm Ryan Sharma. We start our focus on the Orissa train tragedy and the three train accident in Orissa's Bala, which left 275 people dead, will be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation. This as government sources have said that only a detailed probe can establish, if at all, there was any criminal tampering with the point machine or the electronic interlocking system which the railway was the reason behind the accident. NTV has also accessed the OA police that includes charges of causing death by negligence and endangering life. Meanwhile, the Congress has hit out over the CBI probing the case. The national president of the Congress Party, Malika has written to Prime Minister Modi to say that law enforcement agencies cannot fix accountability for technical, institutional and political failures. But even as various agencies are investigating what caused the triple train tragedy in Orissa, the trauma for family members continues. Over 150 bodies are still lying in mortuaries that are yet to be identified. One man identified his wife's body, but he's yet to find his daughter. But for one father. It was truly a miracle as he found his son alive after being told that he was dead. Here's our ground report on the tracks as trains run on the restored railway lines in Bazar railway station. But for Mohammad Sara, the trauma continues. After his wife's last rites, a desperate father is looking for his daughter.

Find some hope, as residents of Bala also offer to help. Breaking down every few minutes narrates what he's been through. Finally, after meeting the collector arrangements for him to go back to state government manages a central control room here or district a control room irrespective of the location of the dead body control room. 48 year old Hira Malik, a miracle. His 23 year old son was previously injured, but he managed to come out of the mangled coach on his own and fainted on the tracks. Rescuers thought he was dead and put him on a truck with dead bodies, But he regained consciousness and signalled to the rescuers that he was alive. Meanwhile, at the mortuary in Bishwa, where most bodies have been shifted, anxious relatives arrive for the traumatic process of identifying the dead.
