According to railway sources, the wagons jumped off the tracks between Lahaban and Simultala stations of the Asansol division under Eastern Railway. The goods train was travelling from Jasidih to Jhajha when the wagons suddenly derailed with a loud noise. Several passenger and goods trains running on the Kiul–Jasidih railway section were stopped at different stations. However, several express and passenger trains on this route may be cancelled, while many others are likely to be diverted over the next two days. Passenger train services originating from Jhajha station are expected to operate as scheduled.
