Recently, a terrible tragedy occurred in Odisha, where three trains collided, causing tremendous loss of life. At least 261 people lost their lives, and over 1,000 were injured in what has been called the Odisha Train Accident. However, influencers such as Carryminati have stepped forward to provide aid as a source of hope for the victims.
The incident took place on June 2. The collision started when the Coromandel Shalimar Express derailed and struck a goods train, resulting in the loss of several lives. The derailed coaches then fell onto the opposite track, where the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express collided with them. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but human error is believed to be a factor.
Indian YouTubers are using their platforms to raise awareness of the train collision and to support the victims and their families. Some are donating money to relief organizations, while others are sharing information on how to help. Carryminati, one of India’s famous YouTubers, organized a charity stream to raise funds for the tragedy.
Charity streams are an excellent way to help the public. Successful streamers like Carryminati can donate significant amounts of their own funds, but getting the public involved not only raises awareness but also gives people a sense of relief and accomplishment.
Carryminati conducted his charity stream for over four hours and raised approximately ₹12,70,000 in donations. The money was sent through UPI, bypassing YouTube’s involvement and tax deduction. The funds raised will be donated to Odisha’s CM relief fund, and fans have responded positively to Carryminati’s efforts.
This initiative by Carryminati is heartwarming and splendid for society, and his involvement in resolving such a tragedy is a pure act of kindness. We send our prayers to the victims of the Odisha Train Accident and hope for the speedy recovery of all those injured.
