Train Accident in Odisha

At least 36 people were killed and over 50 injured in a train accident in Odisha on Tuesday. The accident occurred when two trains collided head-on near the Bhubaneswar railway station.

The trains involved were the Puri-Howrah Express and the Bhubaneswar-Puri Express. The Puri-Howrah Express was coming from Puri, while the Bhubaneswar-Puri Express was going to Bhubaneswar.

The accident is believed to have occurred due to a signal failure. The driver of the Puri-Howrah Express was reportedly unaware that the Bhubaneswar-Puri Express was coming in the opposite direction.

The impact of the collision was so severe that several coaches of both trains were derailed. Rescue workers were able to pull out many of the injured passengers from the wreckage, but many others were trapped inside.

The death toll is expected to rise as more bodies are recovered from the wreckage. The injured passengers have been taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.

The accident has caused widespread disruption to train services in Odisha. Several trains have been cancelled or delayed.
