Union Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge will apprise parliament about the killing of pilgrims by a speeding train in Bihar, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev Shukla said Monday.
"We condole the death of pilgrims in Bihar. The railway minister is collecting more information and all necessary support is being provided for rescue operation," said Shukla.
Shukla said Kharge will make a statement as soon as he gets all the information.
At least 35 Hindu pilgrims were killed Monday when the Rajya Rani Express train mowed them down while they were trying to cross the track at the Dhamara railway station in Khagaria district.
