Harda: At least 34 were killed and 250 injured in Madhya Pradesh after two trains derailed while crossing a railway bridge submerged by flash floods, sending 17 bogies and one engine tumbling into the rain-swollen Machak river.

The incidents took place minutes apart, at around 11.30 pm on Tuesday night Kamayani Express (Mumbai-Varanasi) was hit first, followed shortly by the Janta Express (Patna-Mumbai) heading in the opposite direction. Pic/AFP
