Six Coaches of Kolkata-Sairang Express Derail Near Guwahati, Several Injured
On November 11, six to seven coaches and the locomotive of the Kolkata-Sairang Express derailed near Digaru railway station on the outskirts of Guwahati, Assam. Several passengers sustained minor injuries and were treated at nearby hospitals, with no fatalities reported. The derailment occurred as the train was being received to allow another train to pass, and preliminary reports indicate the loco pilot was unable to control the train's speed. Rescue and relief operations were promptly initiated, and passengers were transported by alternate trains. The exact cause remains under investigation, with video footage suggesting possible brake failure.
