After his visit, he said, "I visited the site and the hospital today, my sympathies are with the kin of the deceased persons. Government of India stands with the people of Kerala, we will help them in the best way possible. Difficult to express the painful accident in Puttingal, people at a distance of 200 metres got injured."
