Two trains derailed on Tuesday night while crossing a swollen Machak river near Harda in Madhya Pradesh. It is learnt that seven coaches of Kamayani Express and three coaches plus the engine of Janata Express derailed late last night as the base material on the tracks got washed away ​due to heavy rains. Till now bodies of 24 passengers have been recovered and over 300 passengers have been rescued from both the trains.  The ministry of Indian railways has announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh to the next of the kin of the deceased and Rs 50,000 to those who are grievously injured.
