District colletor, SP and other officials have reached the spot. The train  had left Bhopal in the morning. The blast took place at around 10 pm. Police officials said that the forensic examination would reveal the kind of explosive that caused the blast.

Railways have sent a team of doctors along with a medical relief train. PRO JK Jain said that the focus was on providing relief and treatment to the injured right now. "All the injured have been admitted to the hospitals", he said.
