टूटी पटरी पर दौड़ी केरला एक्सप्रेस, टला बड़े हादसे

Kerala Express ran on broken track, major accident averted

The Kerala Express, which runs from Thiruvananthapuram to New Delhi, has escaped a major accident. Due to the mistake of the railway administration, the train was run on a broken track near Lalitpur. The railway workers working on the track showed a red flag to stop the train, but by then three coaches of the train had gone beyond the broken track. When the train reached Jhansi, the passengers created a ruckus. Train number 12625 Kerala Express, which was running 10 hours late from its scheduled time, reached Bina at 2 pm. Here, the railway workers were repairing the track between Dailwara and Lalitpur as the track was broken. Meanwhile, the Kerala Express reached there at a high speed. The railway workers working here tried to stop the train by showing a red flag, but the train did not stop. After this, the railway workers left the track and ran away.

At the same time, when the driver of the train saw the red flag, he applied emergency brakes. But by then three coaches of the train had gone beyond the broken track. Due to the sudden braking, the train jerked badly, which caused screaming among the passengers. After this, the passengers started shouting slogans against the railways and created a ruckus. Fortunately, no one was hurt in this accident. But when the train reached Jhansi at 5 pm, the passengers started shouting slogans against the railway administration. The RPF, which reached the spot, somehow convinced the passengers and sent the train off. Repair work is being done on the track. Due to this, the train was stopped by putting up a flag banner. The driver of the train averted the accident by applying emergency brakes.
