The derailment occurred at Digaru railway station on Wednesday morning in the Kamrup (Metro) district.
Six coaches of the Kolkata-Sairang Express derailed at Digaru railway station in Assam's Kamrup (Metro) district at approximately 6.54 am on Wednesday, according to ANI.
Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, the Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), stated that the locomotive and five coaches went off the tracks after the pilot was unable to manage the train's speed. The incident happened while the train was being received at the station to allow another train to pass.
While NFR officials reported that no casualties have occurred and all passengers are safe, reports from The News Mill indicated that at least three passengers sustained injuries. The Economic Times also noted that several passengers were injured, though the exact number and severity remain unconfirmed.
Relief and rescue operations have been started, and the General Manager along with other senior railway officials have gone to the site. Passengers are being moved to their destinations using an alternate train.
Railway authorities are currently monitoring the situation as they work to assess the circumstances of the accident.
