Mizoram CM hails Begusarai people for helping migrants

BEGUSARAI: A 30-second video shared by Mizoram CM Zoramthanga on his official Twitter account showing a group of people in a Begusarai area distributing food packets to stranded Mizo people returning home by a Shramik special train seems to have bowled over people on social media.
The video which went viral on Sunday shows groups of people rushing with food packets to passengers on board while the train made an unscheduled stoppage there.Some of the locals attributed the video somewhere near Hussaini village close to Lakhminia railway station on the Barauni-Katihar section through which most of the northeast bound trains travel. The Mizoram CM also refers to one of his earlier tweets in which Mizo migrants on their return journey home a few days ago were seen offering eatables to flood-affected people taking shelter along the railway tracks due to the recent floods in Assam.
Touched by the video, Zoramthanga tweeted: "Few days after stranded Mizos offer their food to flood affected victims on their way back, a brief halt of their #Shramik special Train at # Begusarai Bihar witnessed good # Samaritans offering their food in return! Goodness for goodness. #India is beautiful when flooded with #Love (sic)."
The tweet prompted Begusarai DM Arvind Kumar Verma to comment: "I am really proud of Begusarai people."
