The CM has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident, said a state government official, adding that Thakur has also asked the administration to provide the best possible medicare to the injured passengers.—(With PTI inputs) Under_Score, DHONI_FANN, Number and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
