Moradabad Divisional Railway Manager (DRM), Raj Kumar Singh, spoke to ANI and said, "We are working on both lines simultaneously. We will fix the downline first to start the movement of the trains. It will take up to 2 hours, and then we will fix the up line, and it will take 6-8 hours."

Morning visuals showed the ongoing restoration work at the Amroha Yard after 7 coaches of a goods train derailed, disrupting traffic yesterday, reported ANI.

According to the officials, the goods train derailed in the Amroha yard of UP's Moradabad district. The timing of the incident is yet to be ascertained.

Earlier in a similar incident, at least three people were killed and around 30 were injured after the Chandigarh-Dibrugarh express derailed near Gonda station between Motiganj and Jhilahi railway stations under the jurisdiction of the North Eastern Railway on July 18.

According to officials, 4-5 coaches from the front of the Dibrugarh Express derailed. Opposition leaders launched a scathing attack on the central government as they highlighted the deaths of 11 people in the collision of a goods train with the Sealdah-Agartala Kanchanjunga Express.
