Sunil Kumar, one of the injured passengers, described the moment of impact: “We were resting after dinner when suddenly there was a strong jolt, and I fell from my seat and fainted. Others helped me, and when I regained consciousness, the medical team was already there to assist me.”

Kiran Devi recounted the moments leading up to the crash: “We were waiting for our food when there was a loud noise. Chaos erupted as people shouted that the train had overturned. Our bogie derailed, but thankfully, we remained unharmed. By the grace of God, everyone in our bogie escaped injury.”

Gratitude for Survival

Radheshyam Jha also expressed gratitude for his survival: “We escaped with our lives, and after exiting the bogie, we saw no loss of life.
