Nine\u00a0 people died in the Bikaner-Guwahati Express train derailment near Moynaguri, in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district. The accident happened on January 13, for reasons yet to be confirmed. 42 people were hospitalized after being injured. While areas in other parts of the country have been foggy, this may not have been one of the reasons here. Also, the accident did not happen at night. Plus, news reporters, who have interviewed rescued passengers, have said that the train was not travelling fast at the time of the derailment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw was personally monitoring the situation and apprised PM Narendra Modi about the rescue operations. Of the injured, 28 were admitted to Jalpaiguri district hospital and 7 were sent to Moynaguri government hospital. Seven critical passengers were shifted to the North Bengal Medical College in Siliguri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An ex gratia payment of Rs 5 lakh has been announced for the kin of the deceased, Rs 1 lakh for those who receive grievous injuries and Rs 25,000 for those who suffered simple injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia deports Novak Djokovic<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
World\u2019s\u00a0 No 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic was forced to leave Australia, without playing in the Australian Open, when the government deported him. Djokovic is one of non-believers in vaccination and he refused to abide by the Covid norms of the country. While the Serb did get supporters in Australia for his unusual stand, the courts and the government refused to allow him to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ended his hopes of defending his Australian Open title. His lawyers had argued in an Australian court on Sunday that he should be allowed to stay in the country and compete in the tournament under a medical exemption due to a coronavirus infection last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
