"As our government is
already providing all that is necessary to the affected, I, as a responsible
and good citizen, am contributing Rs 10 Crore/- as a fund to be used
specifically for those families/children, our future youth, who have lost a
loved one/breadwinners of their family towards their education expenses."

each of the deceased's children, whether in school, high school, or
college," his letter stated.

affected one in the mishap and took strong action against those who were
responsible for their negligence."
