  "account": "On Sunday morning, the Delhi-bound Sikkim Mahananda Express experienced a derailment near Ara in Bihar, involving two of its coaches. No injuries were reported in the incident, but it caused partial disruption to rail traffic. The derailment occurred around 4 am, according to Saraswati Chandra, Chief Public Relations Officer of East Central Railway. The initial investigation suggests that the derailment happened after the train overshot a red signal. The drivers misjudged the signal aspect, according to Chandra. A detailed inquiry will be conducted to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident. The train, which departed from Alipurduar Junction on September 5, reached Ara railway station nine minutes late, causing a subsequent delay of more than four hours upon its arrival at Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction.",
