Three coaches of the Secunderabad-Shalimar Superfast Express derailed near Howrah in West Bengal early on Saturday, a South Eastern Railway (SER) official said. No casualties or major injuries have been reported so far, he added.

The derailment occurred at Nalpur around 5.30 am, the SER official said. “The weekly special train derailed at Nalpur, about 40 km from Kolkata. No casualties or major injuries have been reported so far,” SER spokesperson Omprakash Charan said. Two coaches — a third AC economy and a third AC — and a parcel van of the train got derailed when the rake was crossing over from one track to another, he said.

The 22850 Secunderabad-Shalimar Weekly Express was passing through Nalpur station in the Kharagpur Division when the coaches derailed, he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
