Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also expressed his "deepest condolences".
Four people were killed and around 30 others injured after the North East Express train derailed in Bihar on Wednesday. The incident took place close to Raghunathpur station near Buxar around 9:35 pm. The train, which started from Anand Vihar Terminus in Delhi, was on its way to Kamakhya near Guwahati in Assam.
