The Sarai Banjara rail disaster occurred on 2 December 2000, when a derailed freight train crossed onto the opposite track early in the morning in Punjab, India . A passenger train coming the other direction hit the freight train head on at speed, killing 46 people and injuring at least 150. The accident started when a cracked rail on the line between Mandi Gobindgarh and Rajpura in Punjab India Punjab derailed a large freight train at 5.40am without causing any injuries. The derailed train was covering both sides of the track, and so the driver dismounted to give a warning. As he was walking to the train office in Sarai Banjara , the Howrah Mail train travelling between Calcutta and Amritsar crashed into the derailed freight train head on at high speed. Although the wreckage did not catch fire, the devastation was serious, with jack knifed carriages, twisted metal and the sheer number of injured people hampering the immediate rescue efforts. Ambulances arrived to take the injured to hospital, whilst local people, working alongsde railway officials and emergency services tried to free the survivors trapped in the wreckage. The final death toll was given as 46 killed and over 150 injured in the crash, although there have been some claims that over 50 people were killed. As is the custom in India , the rail authorities promised by way of compensation 15,000 rupees to the families of the dead, 5,000 rupees to those seriously injured, and 500 to those with minor injuries. Some politicians involved in the investigation initially believed that sabotage may have caused the goods train to derail, but a subsequent investigation concluded that the accident was entirely the result of poor track maintenance, combined with an inefficient warning system in case of emergency. The sabotage claim has been suggested by some as a ruse to disguise the dilapidated state of India s rail network. Following the crash, the Hindustan Times ran an editorial, which commented Indian Railways possibly ... more details
