In a tragic incident, two labourers lost their lives and three others were injured after being struck by a speeding train in the Birkuchi locality near the Narengi railway station in Guwahati.

The deceased have been identified as Shahinur Islam and Hafizul Rahman.

The accident occurred while the labourers were walking along the railway tracks on their way to work. What began as an ordinary day turned into a tragedy when the speeding down train struck them, leaving little time for them to react.
