At least five trains were cancelled and four others were short-terminated after 18 coaches of the Howrah-CSMT Express derailed near Badabamboo, approximately 80 kilometers from Jamshedpur. The South Eastern Railway (SER) has provided details on the affected services.
The derailment, which occurred around 3:45 am, involved 16 passenger cars, one power car, and one pantry car. Tragically, two passengers lost their lives, and 20 others sustained injuries. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to rescue trapped passengers and provide medical assistance. The injured were transported to Chakradharpur for further treatment.
In a related incident, a nearby goods train also derailed around the same area. However, it remains unclear whether the two incidents occurred simultaneously. Senior Railways official Om Prakash Charan stated that the exact timeline and cause of the accidents are still under investigation.
