The area is about 126 km away from Guwahati. Accident relief trains, along with officials from the divisional headquarters, are already at the site,” the NFR said in a statement.Passengers of the affected coaches have been temporarily accommodated in vacant berths available in other coaches.“The derailed train, after detaching the affected coaches, has left the site for Guwahati. Once the train reaches Guwahati, additional coaches will be added to accommodate the passengers of the affected coaches, and the train will resume its journey,” the statement added.Helpline numbers have already been activated at Guwahati railway station: 0361-2731621 / 2731622 / 2731623.Railway officials said the incident took place at a location that is not a designated elephant corridor. The train pilot, on observing the herd of elephants, applied emergency brakes. However, the elephants collided with the train.“Trains scheduled to pass through that section are being diverted through another line. Restoration works are on,” the statement read.Divisional Forest Officer of Nagaon Suhas Kadam said details of the elephants killed are awaited.“This shows that coordination between the concerned departments and the railways is still far from satisfactory.
