INDIA PASSENGER TRAIN DERAILS, OVERTURNING CARRIAGES. (PHOTO).


 India passenger train derails, overturning carriages



A passenger train derailed Thursday in India’s northern state of Uttar Pradesh and medics were dispatched to the site, a local medical officer said, with footage of the accident showing several overturned carriages.

The Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express derailed in Gonda district, near the Hindu holy city of Ayodhya, at around 2:30 pm (0900 GMT), Indian media reported.

Chief Medical Superintendent of Gonda District Hospital, Anil Kumar Tiwari, told AFP that a team of medics had been rushed to the accident site.

India’s railway network remains the main form of travel in the vast country, but it is poorly funded and deadly accidents often occur.

Last year nearly 300 people were killed when a passenger train collided with a stationary goods train, with the derailed compartments then striking another fast-moving passenger service. 

India’s worst-ever rail accident occurred in 1981, when a cyclone blew a train off its tracks and into a river in the state of Bihar, leaving 800 dead and more than 100 injured.

At least seven people were killed when an express passenger train and a goods train collided in June in India’s West Bengal state, derailing three passenger carriages, police said.
