One of the three people injured in the station building collapse at Burdwan on Saturday evening died in the wee hours of Sunday, Eastern Railways sources said.
The man was among a dozen of people who were standing near the porch of the colonial structure when a part of it caved in. While some of the injured were released after first aid two persons were admitted to the Burdwan Medical College and Hospital.
One of them died on the small hours of Sunday. He is yet to be identified sources said.
Meanwhile both the Trinamool Congress and the Left Front have questioned the lackadaisical approach of the BJP-run Railway Ministry in providing public services.
“They were involved in decorating and beautifying the premises when the accident occurred. It only proves that this Government is only superficial in its ways. A high level committee should be instituted to look into fact,” Bengal Minister Swapan Debnath said.
CPI(M)’s Sujan Chakrabarty said, “the Railways are only interested in increasing fare and not taking interest in other things.”
A three-member committee has been formed to conduct an inquiry into the cause of the incident, the spokesperson added.
