Heavy-duty gas cutters were being brought from Panagarh to extricate people trapped in the mangled coaches of the Vananchal Express which was hit in the rear by the Uttarbanga Express early on Monday morning at the Sainthia station. "The National Disaster Management forces, including the Border Security Force and the police are extricating bodies from the severely damaged coaches

at the Sainthia station," West Bengal Director General of Police Bhupinder Singh told PTI.

Singh, who was en route to Sainthia, said that there was a scarcity of blood at the Suri and Sainthia hospitals where the injured were taken to. "The police are arranging blood from the Burdwan Medical College and Hospital and are also looking for donors to meet the scarcity of blood," the DGP said.
