The derailment of the goods train took place near the Rangapani Railway Station.

No injury has been reported.

Slamming the Railway Ministry, which has come under the scanner over a number of similar incidents in recent times, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote on X, "Another rail accident today, in the same Phansidewa/ Rangapani area in North Bengal, where there was a most tragic accident just six weeks back!

"We are very concerned about what is happening!!"

Last month, nine people died after the Kanchenjunga Express collided with a freight train on the same route.

Eighteen coaches of the Howrah-Mumbai train derailed at Badabamboo, which is 80 kilometers away from Jamshedpur, at 3:45 am on Tuesday.

Out of 18 coaches, 16 were passenger coaches, one power car and one pantry.
