Bengal train derailment: 90 dead.


Mumbai-bound Gyaneshwari Express derailed in West Bengal's West Midnapore district.At least 90 passengers were killed and 200 injured.The incident occurred at 1:30 am on Friday when the train was running between Khemasoli and Sardiya stations, about 135 km from Kolkata.The tragedy has been compounded by the fact that out of the 90 dead bodies, only 11 have been identified so far. It's hence been a long and traumatic wait for relatives of the victims and information from the railway's helpline is sketchy.
Scores of anxious relatives are waiting at the Kurla station in Mumbai, the train's final destination, for some news of their families.
