Popular Youtuber Carryminati raise over ₹12 Lakhs for the victims of Odisha train accident
The stream was over 4 hours long and made over 12lakhs INR in donation.
Recently, a tragedy occurred in Odisha, where three trains, moving at high speed, collided with each other. This has resulted in an immaculate loss of life. Furthermore, this crash has led to the deaths of at least 261 people and the injuries of over 1,000 others. People have labeled this unfortunate event as the Odisha Train Accident. But in this time of despair, streamers like Carryminati have come in for aid as the victim’s rays of hope.
This incident took place on the 2nd of June. The initial collision occurred when a passenger train, the Coromandel Shalimar Express, derailed and hit a goods train. The derailed coaches of the Coromandel Shalimar Express then fell onto the opposite track. Another passenger train, the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express, struck it then. The cause of the collision is still under investigation, but it is believed that human error may have played a role.
Indian streamers are using their platforms to raise awareness of the train collision and to provide support to the victims and their families. Some streamers are donating money to relief organizations, while others are sharing information about how to help. Especially one of India’s famous streamers, Carryminati, has conducted a charity stream to raise money for this tragedy.
These kinds of charity streams are really good for the general public. Yes, such successful streamers can donate huge amounts out of their own pockets, and they might have already done that, but getting the public to take part in this, spreads not only awareness amongst the masses but also gives them a sense of relief and accomplishment to have helped the country in such times of despair.

Carryminati’s charity stream raises over ₹12 Lakhs
Carryminati announced and conducted his charity stream, which went on for over 4 hours and, in the end, made somewhere around ₹12,70,000. This proved to be an explosive stream done by the YouTuber. The money was sent through UPI, eliminating YouTube’s interference and tax deduction. The money would be donated to Odisha’s CM relief fund. Fans’ reactions to this have been quite amazing.
Love the sheer amount of dedication it takes to contribute to society in times of Tragedy. Paying from one's own pocket can be done easily, but urging the crowd instead and making them aware of the depravity of this situation takes work. Kudos to Carry!✌
