The woman was given emergency medical treatment soon after she was pulled out from the coach
A woman and two children were among those pulled out hours after the Indore-Patna Express train accident in which 14 coaches rolled off the tracks near Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday morning. The woman, placed on a stretcher, was given emergency medical treatment as one of the rescue personnel gave her water while caressing her forehead.
She appeared to be in great pain as doctors checked her limbs for any injury.
At least 116 passengers were killed and close to 200 injured when the train jumped the tracks at Pukharayan, around 100 km from Kanpur.
"She was trapped in the coach for hours," said Rampal Tomar, an army man, about the rescued woman.
Cranes and gas cutters were used to look for those trapped in the wrecked coaches of the train, which had some 500 passengers.
Among the survivors were two little boys pulled out of an overturned coach. A woman believed to be their mother was found dead near them.
Two girls were heard crying for help from another coach, which was badly smashed. "We can't use cranes to pull them out. But I want to assure you that they will be rescued," said AK Singh, a senior officer of the National Disaster Management Force.
Most of the dead were pulled out of two coaches that fell on their side.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was "anguished beyond words" and Congress president Sonia Gandhi said "words couldn't describe the pain" of those who had lost someone.
Top railway officials said a fault in the tracks may have caused the accident, which, they said, was the worst they had seen in a long time.
