SARDIHA, India - Railway authorities canceled all night trains
in an eastern Indian state on Saturday after a passenger express
train derailed and was hit by a cargo train, killing at least 90
people and injuring hundreds. The government accused Maoist rebels
of sabotaging the tracks.
Railway workers and paramilitary soldiers used cranes
to lift and pry apart train cars to search for more bodies from the
Jnaneswari Express, which was heading from Calcutta to suburban
Mumbai when it derailed early Friday.
"The death toll now stands at 90, and there are 149
people with injuries in hospitals," said Soumitra Mazumdar, a
railways spokesman.
