In the early hours of Saturday, at least 20 coaches of the Sabarmati Express derailed near Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
The incident occurred as the train was traveling towards Jhansi from Varanasi Junction. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
According to reports, the derailment of train number 19168, which operates between Varanasi Junction and Ahmedabad, was caused by the train striking a boulder on the tracks.
