Joining rescue operations, IAF today pressed a Chetak and two medium-lift MI-17 helicopters from Kalikunda air base to assist relief work at the site of the train derailment in Jhargram in West Bengal.

IAF's AN-32 aircraft is also being pressed into service from Jorhat and bringing in paramedics and medical supply, an IAF spokesperson said.

Railways have despatched a medical relief van and three accident relief trains to the spot.

Sixty-five passengers of a Maharashtra-bound express train were killed early today and 200 injured in a Maoist attack which led to derailment of 13 coaches, five of which were hit by a goods train coming from the opposite direction.
