The victims were crossing the railway tracks on foot after
getting off another train in panic following rumors that a fire was racing
through the carriages.
“The passengers of the Alleppey-Dhanbad Express train pulled
the (emergency) chain and got down. The Raigarh-Vijaywada train running on the
other line ran over them,” railway spokesman J.P. Mishra told an Indian
television channel.
Most local media reports put the number of dead at eight,
but the NDTV news network said as many as 10 people had been killed. Local
officials were not immediately available for comment.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy assured the
injured would receive the best medical treatment, while offering his
condolences.
