A minute of silence was observed during the inauguration of IFFI in Goa on Sunday to pay homage to those killed in the railway mishap, after 14 coaches of the Indore-Patna Express derailed near Pukhrayan in Uttar Pradesh.
“More than 100 people have lost their lives. I request everyone to stand up and observe one minute silence to the people who lost their lives in the railway accident today,” Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Venkaiah Naidu said before the formal inaugural function began.
