Goods train derails in Guwahati

Guwahati: Twenty stone-laden wagons of a
goods train derailed Wednesday at Lakwa in upper Assam`s Sibsagar district, disrupting train movement on the Tinsukia- Namrup-Simaluguri route.

Northeast Frontier Railway Spokesman said the goods
train jumped the tracks and the 20 wagons rolled down at Lakwa
station around 4.45 am. There was no report of any injury or
casualty.

the district.

Running of trains was suspended between
Tinsukia-Namrup-Simaluguri, he said, adding, restoration work
