Six coaches and the locomotive of the Kolkata-Sairang Express derailed at Digaru railway station in Assam around 6:54 am on Wednesday, November 11, disrupting both railway lines. At least seven passengers were initially reported injured and taken to a nearby hospital, although Indian Railways later said no injuries or casualties had been reported. The railway attributed the derailment to the loco pilot’s inability to control the train’s speed while it was being received at the station to give precedence to another train. Relief and rescue operations began immediately, and passengers were being transferred to their destinations by an alternate train. Senior railway officials rushed to the site.
