Magadh Express Accident
Recently, the Magadh Express met with an accident near Tudiganj Ganj station in Buxar district, Bihar. The train, which was travelling from New Delhi to Patna, reportedly split into two sections.
The accident occurred shortly after the train departed Dumraon railway station at 11:00 AM, where it was already delayed by eight minutes. After leaving Tudiganj station at 11:06 AM, the train experienced a sudden jerk, leading to the separation of the engine and some coaches from the rest of the train.
Passengers expressed their anger over the situation and railway officials, along with police from GRP and RPF, quickly arrived at the scene. The Railway Ministry has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
In a similar incident, trackman Mahadeva successfully averted a serious train accident on the Konkan Railway line between Kumta and Honnavar on Friday morning. The incident occurred around 4:50 am when Mahadeva, during his routine duty, spotted an incomplete welding on a track joint.
At that moment, the Thiruvananthapuram-Delhi Rajdhani Express was approaching the unsafe section. Recognising the immediate danger, Mahadeva quickly alerted Kumta station to stop the train. However, the express had already departed and was speeding toward the compromised area.
