Over 150 people were injured when 14 bogies of the train derailed. The death toll could rise as some of the injured are said to be in serious condition. Rescue workers continue to comb through the mangled remains of the bogies for possible survivors.
Railway minister Suresh Prabhu and Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha arrived at the accident spot yesterday.
"Strict actions will be taken against those responsible for the disaster," Sinha added. It's unclear what caused this accident, but outdated and exhausted equipment are a major cause for such accidents. The minister is expected to address both houses of the Parliament today.
