Two people died and 20 others were injured after about 18 coaches of a train bound for Mumbai derailed in Jharkhand early this morning.
The Howara-CSMT Express derailed near Badabamboo, around 80 km from Jamshedpur at around 3.45 am. Rescue teams were rushed to the site immediately after the derailment was notified and a rescue and relief operation is on, officials said.
Senior Railways official Om Prakash Charan said that a goods train had also derailed nearby, but it was not yet clear whether the two accidents occurred concurrently.
