In Kolkata, officials have reported that the death toll from the tragic collision between the Kanchanjunga Express and a goods train in West Bengal's Darjeeling district has now reached 11. Among the victims is 11-year-old Sneha Mondal, who was a passenger on the Kanchanjunga Express. She was rushed to North Bengal Medical College & Hospital in Siliguri on Monday and has been receiving critical care in the pediatric intensive care unit.
Doctors have been working tirelessly to save Sneha's life, but unfortunately, she passed away around noon on Tuesday. This brings the total number of fatalities to 11, with nine of them occurring on Monday and the remaining two, including Sneha, on Tuesday. It is a devastating loss for all those involved.
Out of the 11 victims, the identities of eight have been identified, while efforts are underway to identify the remaining three. The deceased include the loco-pilot of the goods train and the guard of the Kanchanjunga Express. Their families and loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
On a positive note, railway officials have confirmed that train services have resumed on the route where the accident took place. Both the 'up' and 'down' sections are now back in operation, bringing some relief to commuters. However, we must not forget the lives lost in this terrible incident and work towards preventing such tragedies from happening in the future. Our deepest condolences go out to all those affected by this unfortunate event.
