The deadliest rain accident in nearly three decades left nearly 300 dead.

New Delhi:

Billionaire Gautam Adani on Sunday offered to provide free school education to children who lost parents in the country’s deadliest train crash in decades, saying the train accident in Odisha was deeply disturbing.

In a tweet, Mr Adani, who heads a conglomerate that spans ports to energy, commodities, airports and data centres, said it is a joint responsibility of all to support the victims and their families and give a better tomorrow to the children.

“We are all deeply disturbed by the train accident in Odisha. We have decided that the Adani Group will take care of the school education of the innocents who have lost their parents in this accident. It is the joint responsibility of all of us to support the victims and their families and give a better tomorrow to the children,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.

उड़ीसा की रेल दुर्घटना से हम सभी बेहद व्यथित हैं।

हमने फैसला लिया है कि जिन मासूमों ने इस हादसे में अपने अभिभावकों को खोया है उनकी स्कूली शिक्षा की जिम्मेदारी अडाणी समूह उठाएगा।

पीड़ितों एवं उनके परिजनों को संबल और बच्चों को बेहतर कल मिले यह हम सभी की संयुक्त जिम्मेदारी है।
