The Chauri Chaura Express derailed at Kanpur Central railway station on Wednesday, platform number 7, around 5:03 PM. One trolley of each coach went off the tracks.
The train was heading to Gorakhpur from Anwarganj when it derailed while moving at a very slow speed. No casualties have been reported.
Railway officials and an engineering team rushed to the site. Senior railway officials from Prayagraj were dispatched to manage the situation, and Deputy Chief Traffic Manager Akhanshu Govil confirmed the derailment.
