They handed over memorandums to SDM, Gohana, Ashish Vasisht to be forwarded to the Chief Minister, the Chairman of the Railways and of the Human Rights Commission seeking immediate financial and other assistance for the bereaved family.
Jai Pal is survived by two children. His wife had died a few years ago. The protesters demanded that water be drained from the underpass and a permanent solution should be worked out to address the problem.
