“At the end of work on Saturday evening (02/04/2022) the NRC’s restoration team had further rerailed four more coaches and two of the coaches (SP 00007 and SP 00013) had been safely moved to Idu and Rigasa Stations respectively.

“The other two coaches are still at the site due to damaged tracks. This brings the total coaches so far rerailed to 7, but only 5 successfully moved to the stations,” he said.

Mr Okhiria noted that the corporation in collaboration with security agencies would leave no stone unturned in their efforts at rescuing the missing persons.

He further expressed gratitude to security agencies for their support and cooperation.
