Title: Heavy loss of standing crops due to turning of full oil tanker in 
Dubrajpur station in Andal Saithia Loopline

TEXT:
DR.  RAM  CHANDRA DOME (BIRBHUM): Thank you Mr. Deputy-Speaker, Sir. I want to
draw the attention of the House and of the Government through  you  about  the
recent  railway  accident  that occurred in my district of Birbhum. Because of
this accident one rake of oil tanker has derailed and  due  to  this  the  oil
spillage  was  there.  Due  to  over-spillage of oil, standing crops have been
damaged in a vast area. Nearly 200 acres  of  land  has  been  affected.  This
incident has taken place near Dubrajpur railway station in Birbhum district on
the  Andal-Sainthia  railway section. Hundreds of peasants have been affected.
But the Government has done nothing to compensate the peasants for the damage.
They are waiting for adequate compensation from the  Railway  Department.  But
nothing has been paid as yet to them.

	So, I urge upon the Government to inquire into the matter and expedite
the  disbursement of adequate compensation to the affected farmers there. Sir,
my submission is that the Railway authorities have to pay this compensation.

	Thank you.

DR. ASIM BALA (NAVADWIP): Mr. Deputy-Speaker, Sir, please allow us also.

MR. DEPUTY-SPEAKER : Everybody will get the opportunity. Please wait.
