At the site, I saw several severed bodies lying on the ground. Even though I was extremely scared, I had to do my duty.
All around me I could only see blood, smoke and charred bodies. I called some of the locals, asking them to hail all the cabs in the area, which could ferry victims to hospitals."
Narayan regulated traffic to ease the passage of the cabs.
