2 injured in Cuttack train derailment still in ICU | Bhubaneswar News
Cuttack: Two injured passengers of the Bengaluru-Kamakhya AC Superfast Express which derailed near the Manguli-Choudwar passenger halt in Cuutack on Sunday remain under medical care at SCB Medical College and Hospital, officials said on Tuesday.
Asish Lama (30), from Assam, is currently admitted to the new medicine ward’s ICU. However, railway authorities clarified that he was in critical condition due to pre-existing liver disease and not injuries sustained during the accident.
“Several of Lama’s vital parameters are fluctuating. A specialised medical team is monitoring his condition closely and making necessary interventions for stabilisation,” said Jayanta Panda, head of the department of medicine, SCB Medical College.
The second patient, Tammanappa Didapal (42), also from Assam, is reported stable in the trauma ICU. “He is receiving comprehensive medical care, including pain management and wound care. We are optimistic about his recovery,” Dr Panda added.
East Coast Railway (ECoR) chief public relations officer Ashoka Mishra said, “We are maintaining constant communication with SCB Medical College authorities and the families of the affected passengers to ensure optimal care and support.”
ECoR said a total compensation of Rs 8.5 lakh has been paid, including Rs 5 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased, Rs 2.5 lakh to a grievously injured woman and Rs 50,000 each to two other injured.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the derailment. Preliminary findings suggest track-related issues as the potential cause, though the official report is pending.
