Indian football team donates ₹20 lakh to families of Balasore train accident victims

The Indian football team decided to donate a part of the cash award it received from the Odisha government for the Intercontinental Cup triumph towards "relief and rehabilitation" of families affected by the recent train accident in the state.

Hosts India beat Lebanon 2-0 in the title clash on Sunday, to lift the trophy for the second time in three outings.

Following the win, Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced a cash reward of ₹1 crore for the team, from which Igor Stimac's men "collectively" decided to donate ₹20 lakh.

'Nothing will compensate for the loss that people have faced, but we hope that this plays its own little part in helping families cope and tide through what are very tough times,' the Indian Football team tweeted.
