Silchar-Guwahati Express engine derails in Assam
Railway authorities faced a major disruption when the front trolley of the Silchar-Guwahati Express locomotive jumped the tracks. The unexpected accident occurred near the Badarpur and Sukritipur section within Assam. Officials confirmed zero casualties, sparing passengers from any physical harm as all carriages remained upright.
The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) immediately halted operations along the vital hill route. Engineers deployed heavy machinery and launched urgent repair operations. Because of the accident, authorities cancelled multiple key passenger trains, including the corresponding return service from Guwahati. Teams pushed the stranded coaches back to Badarpur station to ensure absolute safety. Technical experts currently investigate the exact mechanical breakdown behind the sudden derailment. Normal schedules will resume once maintenance crews clear the blocked tracks completely.
