Today reported citing East Central Railway (ECR) CPRO.

ECR CPRO Biswajit Sahu said that the accident took place between Alamanda and 

Kantakapalli in the Vizianagaram-Kottavalasa railway section of the Waltair division 

of the East Coast Railway zone at about 7 pm. He said train number 08532 

(Visakhapatnam-Palasa passenger) and 08504 (Visakhapatnam-Rayagada 

passenger special) were involved in the accident, adding that the Rayagada 

passenger had overshot the signal.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh 

from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) for the next of kin of each 

deceased due to the train derailment. He also announced ex-gratia of Rs 50,000 for 

those injured.


Modi also spoke to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and took stock of the 

situation on ground in the wake of the unfortunate incident. "PM Modi spoke to 

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and took stock of the situation in the wake of the 

unfortunate train derailment between Alamanda and Kantakpalle section," the Prime 

Minister's office posted on X formerly known as Twitter. 

"Authorities are providing all possible assistance to those affected. The Prime 

Minister extends condolences to the bereaved families and prays that the injured 

recover soon," the post further read. 

Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has ordered railway authorities to 

coordinate with other departments including health, police and revenue to ensure 

that those injured receive prompt medical services. He also announced ex-gratia of 

Rs 10 lakh each to the kin of those deceased in the Vizianagaram train accident.

The families of those who lost their lives and belonged to other states will be given 

Rs 2 lakh each. Passengers who are severely injured will also get Rs 2 lakh each

Accident Relief Trains and other rescue equipment have been dispatched and the 

Ministry of Railway has issued helpline numbers to assist with the rescue 

operations. Divisional Railway Manager Saurabh Prasad visited the accident site. 

"We are in the process of checking all the coaches. Once that is done, we will be 

able to ascertain the exact number of the deceased. We have sent 13 injured 

people to the government primary healthcare centre. There may be some people 

with simple injuries," Prasad told PTI. He also said that they are currently in the 

process of separating the entangled coaches and would get a clearer picture once 

this process is over.
