At least 20 people were injured, when an MMTS train hit an Intercity Express train in Kachiguda station on Monday morning here. According to an official of the South Central Railway, the accident took place when an MMTS coming from Malakpet hit the Intercity Express, which was leaving the platform and which was on the same track at Kachiguda station. With the impact of the collision, three bogies of the MMTS train derailed and about 20 passengers were injured in the accident.
