Slamming the Railway Ministry, which has come under the scanner over a number of similar incidents in recent times, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote on X, "Another rail accident today, in the same Phansidewa/ Rangapani area in North Bengal, where there was a most tragic accident just six weeks back!
"We are very concerned about what is happening!!"

We are very concerned about what is happening!!
Last month, nine people died after the Kanchenjunga Express collided with a freight train on the same route.
Eighteen coaches of the Howrah-Mumbai train derailed at Badabamboo, which is 80 kilometers away from Jamshedpur, at 3:45 am on Tuesday.
Out of 18 coaches, 16 were passenger coaches, one power car and one pantry.
