Readers helping hand reaches Mumbai 7/11 terror victims
Their loss can never be compensated, or even entirely comprehended, but readers of The Indian Express can lend a helping hand.
With funds raised from reader contributions, The Indian Express My Mumbai Trust today disbursed cheques for Rs 2.2 lakh each to 12 of the most dispossessed families left behind by the serial bomb blasts aboard Mumbai's suburban trains on July 11, 2006.
A K Jhingron, General Manager of Western Railway who handed out the cheques at Express Towers, said: "With the limitations that the Railways have, there is just this much that the Railways could do.

Soon after the blasts, The Indian Express kicked off 187 Life Stories, a series recounting for readers how these unfortunate Mumbaites had lived.
