We are providing all required help and medical assistance to the victims of the tragic train accident to save precious lives,” Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya tweeted.

Mandaviya had earlier stated that AIIMS Bhubaneswar has been instructed to make plans for emergency, ICU, and OT beds and that all the physicians, nurses, and staff in the hospital have been directed to offer all possible assistance to those injured in the accident.

The mishap took place on Friday evening when Coromandel Express, heading to Chennai, derailed and hit a goods train, after which many coaches of the passenger train flipped over and fell on the opposite track. The Yesvantpur-Howrah Superfast coming from the opposite side then collided with the derailed coaches. Both trains were moving at a high speed at the time of the collision.
