   Indian railway officials say at least 10 people have died in a train
   derailment in the northern region of the country.
   Authorities say 100 people were injured Sunday in the accident near the
   town of Malwa in the Fatehpur district of Uttar Pradesh state.
   Officials say the number of injured passengers is likely to rise as
   rescuers made their way through the twisted coaches.
   The Kalka Mail train from Howrah was on its way to New Delhi.
   The cause of the derailment was not immediately clear.
   India's railway network is one of the largest in the world. Accidents
   are common, with most blamed on poor maintenance and human error.
