Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has made a generous offer to support victims of the devastating Odisha train accident. 

Sehwag has offered to provide free education to the children who tragically lost their parents in the incident.

The collision, which occurred on June 2 in Balasore, Odisha, involved two express passenger trains and a stationary freight train, resulting in a staggering death toll of at least 275 people, making it one of the deadliest train accidents in the past two decades.

Sehwag wrote on Twitter, “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.”

He further added, "Also salute all the brave men and women who have been at the forefront of the rescue operations and the medical team and volunteers who have been voluntarily donating blood. We are together in this."
