The Telegraph reports that "Fifteen tankers loaded with fuel were
gutted and more than 10 lakh litres of diesel burnt when a goods train
carrying them jumped tracks in Chanabana on the Bihar-Bengal border this
morning.The inferno caused
the tracks to melt, leading to disruption in train services on the
Aluabari-NJP route.The heat from the
burning fuel also scorched to death a villager, whose body was found
after the flames were doused. Paddy on 500 acres along the tracks have
been burnt.
The Northeast
Frontier Railway (NFR) said the goods train, with 51 tankers and each of
them filled with 70,000 litres of diesel from the Numaligarh Refineries
Limited, was on its way to Jamshedpur from Maligaon in Assam.
