A bogie of the Howrah-Puri Dhauli Express derailed near Panskura station in West Bengal on Tuesday morning, a South Eastern Railway spokesman said here.
No one was injured in the accident that occurred between Bhogpur and Panskura stations in Howrah-Kharagpur section of SER at 7.10 am, spokesman Sanjay Ghosh said.
