Groaning with pain, the injured priest, Sunita Devi, Gorakh Chandra told that everyone was going to the hub for darshan, worship and bathing of Mother Ganga. Keep your waist covered. At this point everyone started falling on each other, unable to understand what Bhava was doing. After some time the ambulance came honking. Raju was cuddling his five year old son Aryan in his lap. The pain of the accident was being expressed by the bandage on the son's head and the fear in his eyes.

The bundle tied with care got scattered

The preparation of the devotees was also seen in the same way as poet Kailash Gautam has brought alive the Amousa fair in his lines. Everyone had packed essential items for the journey. Lai, Chivda, Chikki, Gajak, Dhundhi, Tilva Satua, Puri, pickles were packed in the bag. The compartments were filled with water. As soon as the pickup overturned, the ties of the bags broke. The food items kept in it scattered here and there. The injured were not concerned about packing their belongings, but about their lives.

Travel on 'double decker' freighter

The government repeatedly says that goods carriers should not be used to transport passengers. Many times accidents occur due to this. This has happened before, but the vehicle owners and drivers ignore such instructions in the name of earning money. Sometimes the mailarthis are loaded on trucks and sometimes on tractors. People of Sant Kabir Nagar had also loaded the goods vehicle like a double decker bus. This was the reason why the bus collided and then the pickup overturned. It was good that the bus driver did not crush anyone while trying to escape, otherwise many people would have lost their lives.

Doctor called by alert message

After the accident, a message was given to Raja Pratap Bahadur Hospital that more than 40 devotees were injured. Hearing this news, there was panic in the hospital administration. By sending an alert message, the doctors and paramedical staff who were resting in their rooms were immediately called to the hospital.
