Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi reached New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday and met the porters. During this, he talked to the porters for about 40 minutes and learnt about their problems.
A porter Deepesh Meena said that we are very happy that Rahul Gandhi came to meet us. He asked about our problems. We hope that he will solve them. We told him about the porters injured in the stampede here.
After meeting the porters, Rahul said that often the light of humanity shines the brightest in the darkest times.
He said, "During the stampede at New Delhi Railway Station, the porter brothers set an example of humanity and saved the lives of many passengers. For this, I thanked them today on behalf of the countrymen."
Rahul said it is important to learn from such accidents. "These can be prevented by crowd control, use of modern technology, better infrastructure and strengthening emergency arrangements."
Rahul said it is hoped that the government will take concrete steps in this direction so that passengers of every class can travel safely.
Rahul has met porters before as well. Earlier in September 2023, Rahul Gandhi had gone to Anand Vihar Railway Station. There too he talked to the porters and listened to their problems. During that time, Rahul Gandhi also lifted the luggage of the passengers wearing the dress of a porter.
