Odisha train tragedy: Virender Sehwag offers to provide free education for children of deceased victims

In the aftermath of the Odisha train accident, former India cricketer Virender Sehwag has offered to take care of the education of children of those who lost their lives in the tragedy.
The collision which happened in Odisha’s Balasore on June 2 between two express passenger trains and a stopped freight train has resulted in at least 275 fatalities, as per to the most recent official statics, and caused more than 1,000 injuries. The incident is perhaps the deadliest train accident on record in the last 20 years.
“In this hour of grief, the least I can do is to take care of education of children of those who lost their life in this tragic accident. I offer such children free education at Sehwag International School’s boarding facility,” the former India opener tweeted.
