Guwahati: Just hours after the Kalka Mail derailed today in Uttar Pradesh claiming 31 lives, another train has derailed in Assam.
Four bogies of the Guwahati-Puri Express derailed between Rangia and Ghagrapar following a low-intensity explosion on the track.
Thirteen people have been injured in the accident. There are no reports of any casualties so far.
The engine and four bogies derailed in the remote area at around 8.30 pm. The explosion was triggered by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). A faction of the militant group National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) is suspected to be behind the blast.
Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel have rushed to the spot and a relief train has been sent to the derailment site from Bongaigaon.
Two of the injured have been shifted to a hospital in Guwahati.
