  "account": "On Sunday morning, two coaches of the Delhi-bound Sikkim Mahananda Express derailed near Ara in Bihar. According to initial reports, no injuries were sustained in the incident. However, the accident caused a delay in rail traffic. The derailment occurred around 4 am, following the train's overshoot of a red signal. The train, which departed from Ara railway station around nine minutes late, had misjudged the signal aspect, the railway official stated. A comprehensive inquiry will be conducted to determine the precise circumstances leading to the derailment. The National Train Enquiry System (NTES) records indicate that the train departed from Alipurduar Junction at 3:54 am on Sunday, arriving at Ara railway station nine minutes behind schedule. Post the derailment, the train experienced a delay of over four hours, arriving at Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction at 10:49 am instead of its scheduled time of 6:48 am.",
