In a tragic incident, three women were killed after being hit by a train near Bamunigaon Railway Station in Assam’s Boko on Monday morning.

The victims have been identified as Uttara Das (50), Rumi Das (35), and Karabi Mali (35), all residents of No. 2 Satabari in Boko. According to reports, the women were out for their routine morning walk when the accident occurred.

The mishap took place near Gate No. 240, close to Bamunigaon Railway Station, at a time when two trains were crossing the section simultaneously.

Local residents have expressed concern over the increasing number of fatalities in the area. Reports suggest that nearly 20 people have lost their lives in similar train accidents along the Kamakhya–Jogighopa railway line in recent years.
