New Delhi: An Indian passenger train derailed and overturned several of its cars on Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring 24 others with rescue and relief efforts ongoing.
India's railway network is the main form of travel in the vast country, but it is poorly funded and deadly accidents often occur.
The Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express, a 22-car passenger service that runs for 2,640 kilometres (1,640 miles), derailed near the northern Hindu holy city of Ayodhya, at around 2:30 pm (0900 GMT).
"Two people have died," Indian Railways spokesman Pankaj Kumar Singh told AFP.
Another 24 people were brought to hospital for treatment in the nearby town of Mankapur, local doctor Satya Narayan told reporters.
