VOA News Indian Prime Minister Narendra #Modi said Saturday he was "deeply pained" after meeting victims of the country's worst rail accident in over two decades.
A report in The Times of India said one of the trains involved in the accident entered the wrong track just moments before the derailment.
#India has declared Saturday a national day of mourning out of respect to the victims.
Sudhanshu Sarangi, director general of #Odisha Fire Services, told Agence France-Presse that there are “a lot of serious injuries.
The accident happened Friday night about 220 kilometers south of #Kolkata.
Emergency workers had to climb overturned train cars to rescue some victims, while other rescuers cut through the trains’ cars to provide emergency services.
Anubha Das, a passenger on one of the trains, told Reuters he would never be able to forget what he saw. "Families crushed away, limbless bodies and a bloodbath on the tracks," he said.
