A locomotive and five coaches of the Kolkata-Sairang Express derailed at Digaru Railway Station near Guwahati in India's Assam state early Wednesday. No injuries were reported.

Axar.az reports, citing Indian media, that the train was travelling from Kolkata to Sairang in Mizoram when the incident occurred at around 6:54 am.

Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) Chief Public Relations Officer KK Sharma said the train was being received at Digaru station to give precedence to another train when the locomotive lost control of its speed, causing the derailment.

All passengers were reported safe and are being transported to their destinations by an alternative train.

Relief and rescue operations were launched immediately. NFR General Manager and other senior railway officials also arrived at the scene to oversee the response.
