The death toll from the derailment of two passenger trains in India has risen to 120, according to a media report.
The Press Trust of India quoted state Fire Services Chief Sudhanshu Sarangi as saying that many bodies had been found and that the number is likely to increase. He also said more than 800 people were hurt.
Ten to 12 coaches of one train derailed, and debris from some of the mangled coaches fell onto a nearby track, said Amitabh Sharma, a railroad ministry spokesperson. In the aftermath, television images showed rescuers climbing atop the wreckage to break open doors and windows and using cutting torches to free survivors.
Dattatraya Bhausaheb Shinde, the top administrator in the Balasore district, said at least 50 people were dead. The Press Trust reported a death toll of at least 70.
