Engine, power car of Ranchi Rajdhani Express derail in Delhi

The engine and the power car of Ranchi Rajdhani Express derailed on Delhi's Shivaji Bridge on Thursday. However, no injuries have been reported. This is the second instance of a train derailment in one day, but no injuries have been reported in either incident.

Earlier in the day, seven coaches of Howrah-Jabalpur-Shaktikunj Express derailed near Obra in Uttar Pradesh. However, no injuries were reported so far. The train was running at a speed of about 40 km/hr which, officials say prevented any injuries when the incident occurred.

This is the third such derailment in the state in less than a month. On August 19, the Utkal Express had derailed in Muzaffarnagar district, killing 22 people and injuring 156.

About 100 passengers were wounded when 10 coaches of Kaifiyat Express train derailed after crashing into a dumper which strayed on to the tracks in Auraiya district on August 23.
