NEW DELHI - Officials say at least 25 people were injured when a train derailed in central India, the second derailment in the country in less than a week.
Railway official Ghanshyam Singh says train services across central India were disrupted after the derailment in Madhya Pradesh state early Monday.
Seven of the train's cars fell off the track. Singh says all the passengers in the fallen cars were rescued and that the injured were taken to hospitals.
Last Wednesday, 27 people were injured when a train derailed in eastern India.
India has one of the largest railroad networks in the world, with around 14 million passengers each day. Accidents are common, and most are blamed on poor maintenance and human error.
