Train collision near Mathura, 10 dead over 50 injured
A couple of hours after the accident, train services between Delhi and Agra have been restored with one railway-track the upline that opened to traffic from 7:10 am this morning. Northern Railway has cancelled the Agra Nizamuddin inter-city express.
At least 10 to 12 people are feared killed as the Delhi-bound Goa Express rammed into the stationary Mewar Express near Mathura on Wednesday (October 21) morning. More than 20 passengers are injured in the accident that took place at around 4.45 am between Mathura and Vrindavan stations. The injured passengers have been rushed to nearby hospitals. Helplines have been set up in all major neighbouring cities to provide essential assistance to kiths and kins of the passengers. This is the second major rail accident within a gap of 15 days gap, after the Katihar bound Amarpali Express derailed near Khagaria early this month. Train services have been badly affected on Katihar – Barauni sector after the incident and many trains are still plying on diverted Bhagalpur – Malda route. Although, the railways has not revealed the cause of accident yet, but the collision at Mathura points towards human error.
