The Kanchanjungha Express, which collided with a goods train in Darjeeling’s Phansidewa area, killing nine and injuring over 25, arrived in Sealdah, Kolkata, early Tuesday following restoration. Passengers recounted their fear during the accident. Officials provided medical assistance, food, and emergency beds at Sealdah. Preliminary investigations suggest the goods train driver violated speed restrictions. Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim criticized the central government for its handling of railway safety, and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condemned the neglect towards railway infrastructure.
