Track tampering suspected as cause in Hirakhand Exp mishap
Railways suspected that tampering of the track led to the derailment of the Jagdalpur-Bhubaneswar Hirakhand Express in Andhra Pradesh's Vizianagaram district on Sunday. "There is a strong indication of tampering...as the area is known to be a Naxal-prone zone and as Republic Day is approaching," reports said. Notably, 27 people were killed in the accident.
