DRM Pankaj Tyagi and railway officials paid solemn tribute to the 45 heroic rail employees who sacrificed their lives during the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy.

Their “unparalleled example of duty” involved promptly halting over two dozen incoming trains from the Bina and Itarsi directions at safe stations like Vidisha and Mandideep.
