3 dead, 9 injured in Vasco Da Gama Patna Express train derailment


Chitrakoot, (UP) Nov 24 (PTI): Thirteen coaches of the Vasco Da Gama-Patna express derailed near Manikpur railway station in Uttar Pradesh today, leaving at least seven people injured.

The Patna-bound train derailed at 4:18 am near Manikpur railway station in Chitrakoot district of Uttar Pradesh, less than 12 hours after a bolero had collided with a passenger train near Lucknow killing four and injuring two.

"The injured have been rushed to the hospital and officials have left for the spot. Relief operations are underway," North Central Railway PRO Amit Malviya said.

He further said that soon after the accident, a medical train reached the spot and by 5:20 am, an accident relief train was dispatched for the spot.

The divisional railway manager (DRM), Allahabad has already reached the spot while the General Manager, NCR is on his way, he said.

While no deaths were confirmed by the railways, sources say multiple fatalities cannot be ruled out.

    Same incidents can be viewed as someone is interested in derailing with a purpose
    To defame the Modi Govt.te frustration of some political party due to their defeat
    in latest UP election may be indulging in these incidents
    You can't rule out this theory too

    The BJP has a Majority in the Parliament.

    In your point of view, I quote: Same incidents can be viewed as someone is interested in derailing with a purpose
    To defame the Modi Govt.te frustration Unquote.

    Why then not bring culprits of derailed people to justice. It is not like UPA I and II which was not having sufficient numbers which managed India with a coalition government in such a way that the public was living fearlessly.

    NOW ANY PERSON IN THE NORTH SAY ANYTHING TO YOGI, OR CHAAIWAALA IS SLAPPED WITH F.I.R.

    DEAR RATHAN,

    HAVE YOU SEEN THE CURRENT ECONOMY DERAILED AND CHAOS INDIA'S ECONOMY???!!!

    WITH THE G.S.T AND DEMONITISATION ARE YOU NOT FINDING TUGLAQ RAJ.

    RISING PRICES IN THE EXORBITANT G.S.T.

    RAHUL GANDHI'S RISE WAS ONLY DUE TO THE COW GOVERNMENTS ENTIRE FAILURE.

    THIS GOVERNMENT HAS NO PLACE TO STAY. WE WILL DISMANTLE THIS GOBERNMENT DEMOCRATICALLY NOT THROUGH EVM OR THROUGH ENFORCING ELECTIONS COMMISSION.

    The day on which chaaiwaala took charge of Indian administration on May 26th, 2014 there was a train accident in U.P.

    THEN ONWARDS THERE IS REGULAR TRAINS ACCIDENTS AND DERAILMENT.

    MAY IT BE DEMONETISATION OR G.S.T.

    FROM A TO Z DERAILED.

    I HAVE TO APPRECIATE ONE OF HIS ACHIEVEMENT THAT IS GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS IN THE SITE SEEING TOURS UTILIZING TAX PAID MONEY OF THE CITIZENS.

    MAY THE DEAD R.I.P.
