There are rumors going around on WhatsApp and Twitter that "Mahendra Singh Dhoti", the former captain of the Indian cricket team, has kindly donated INR 60 crore for the victims of the unfortunate train disaster in Odisha.
A fact check, however, has shown that there is no proof of this donation. The reports are untrue, and DHOTI hasn't revealed anything about his contribution in the media.
Numerous people were killed and many more were injured in the train tragedy in Odisha, which sparked an international outpouring of sympathy from celebrities and athletes.
While online rumors about Dhoti's donation have gained popularity, it is important to make clear that there is no truth for these assertions.
Similar rumors surfaced regarding Virat Kohli's planned donation to help the impacted families, but there has been no official confirmation.
The Indian cricketer Yuzvendra, on the other hand, reportedly gave 1 lakh to the relief efforts. Yuzvendra made this donation during a charity live stream organized by the gaming channel scout that was intended to help those hurt in train accidents.
Former Indian opener Virender SWAG is another well-known person to offer their support. Through his boarding school, SWAG International School, he has not only made considerable contributions but also promised to give free tuition to children who lost their parents in this tragic event.
There are numerous unanswered inquiries on what precisely prompted a destructive different train crash in India on Friday night that killed something like 261 individuals and harmed 1,000.
Two rapid traveler trains and a cargo train were engaged with a "three-way mishap" close to a little station in eastern province of Odisha, as per reports. One of them crashed into the fixed cargo train, and its mentors flipped over to a third track, making an approaching train wreck. Just an exhaustive request will assist with revealing the reality behind the episode. Yet again, yet it has lighted new worries with respect to rail line wellbeing in India.
India's far-reaching railroad framework, prestigious as one of the world's biggest, transports north of 25 million travelers every year across a countrywide organization of tracks crossing more than 100,000 km (62,000 miles). Some 5,200 km of new tracks were laid last year, as indicated by Rail route Clergyman Ashwani Vaishnaw.
Mr Vishnu as of late uncovered in a connection that most of the tracks were going through moves up to oblige trains running at paces of up to 100 kmph, a significant part was being improved for rates of up to 130kmph, and a huge portion was being ready for the high velocities of up to 160kmph.
Obviously, this is important for the public authority's arrangements to run faster trains the nation over - a high velocity line is being worked between the monetary capital of Mumbai and the city of Ahmedabad.
However, wrecking keeps on being a "bogeyman for the rail lines", a previous rail route board executive, Vivek Sakai, told me. A train can wreck for various reasons - "a track could be poorly kept, a mentor could be broken, and there could be a blunder in driving".
An administration rail line security report for 2019-20 found crashes were liable for 70% of the rail line mishaps, up from 68% the earlier year. (Train flames and crashes came straightaway, liable for 14% and 8% of the all out mishaps individually).
The report counted 40 crashes - 33 traveler trains and seven cargo trains - during the year under survey. Of these, 17 crashes were brought about by track "abandons" - this could incorporate breaks and subsidence of tracks.
