Quick Thinking Averts Railway Disaster in Delhi

A freight train from Delhi to Saharanpur was halted safely after an alert loco pilot spotted an iron pipe on the track, preventing a possible derailment near Bawli and Kasimpur Kheri stations. Authorities have launched a thorough investigation to find those responsible.

A potentially catastrophic accident was narrowly avoided when a freight train from Delhi to Saharanpur came to an unexpected halt. The quick actions of loco pilot Subhash Chandra, who spotted and responded promptly to an obstruction on the railway track, averted disaster on Wednesday night.

The obstruction, a 10-foot-long iron pipe, was strategically placed on the track between Bawli and Kasimpur Kheri stations, according to police reports. Officials believe it was an intentional attempt to derail the train, which could have resulted in severe consequences.

In response, local authorities, including the police and railway staff, have launched an investigation to identify and arrest the miscreants responsible for the act. A case has been filed, and efforts are underway to determine the motive behind this dangerous action.
