At least 23 killed and dozens injured as packed train derails north of New Delhi in fourth rail disaster in India this year


Two of the coaches telescoped into each other, while four others toppled over after going off the track, said Arvind Kumar, a top official in Uttar Pradesh, the state where the devastating derailment took place. Local television channels showed chaotic scenes at the crash site, with rescuers trying find the injured amid crowds of people gathered around overturned carriages. 'We are struggling to pull out injured, and are waiting for gas cutters to arrive. It's too dark to launch a full fledged search operation, but our teams are trying their best,' said Ajay Pandey, a senior police officer at the site
