A Punjab police commando and a photo journalist were injured on Sunday when security personnel removed protesters from a rail track where a train mowed down 59 Dussehra revellers, officials said.

The agitated protesters blocking the track were removed and train services resumed on Sunday afternoon, 40 hours after the horrific accident, a railway spokesperson said. On Friday evening, a gathering of more than 300 people were on the tracks to watch the burning of a Ravana effigy when the speeding train struck leaving 59 dead and scores injured. The first goods train started from Manawala to Amritsar at 14:16 hours, Northern Railways spokesperson Deepak Kumar said.
