A railway track was found broken on the Lucknow-Varanasi route in Sultanpur district of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. However, it was rectified very soon. If it had not been repaired in time, a major accident could have occurred. Government Railway Police (GRP) said that information about breakage of railway track was received near Bedupara village of Lambhua police station area. Railway engineers started repair work and the broken track was immediately repaired.
Lambhua GRP in-charge Mahavir said that as soon as the information about the broken track was received, the engineer along with other employees reached the spot and got the broken track repaired.
It is worth noting that news related to derailment of trains often comes to the fore. Recently, a one-foot long piece of iron kept on the railway track between Atgaon and Thansit stations in Maharashtra’s Thane district was hit by an engine. Actually, the overhead wire engine was going towards Kasara station, when it collided with a one-foot long piece of iron kept on the railway track. This could have caused damage to the trains and could have caused a major accident and also put people’s lives in danger.
The cylinder was found recently
Recently, an incident of cylinder being found on the railway line came to light in Kanpur. A five kg LPG cylinder was found near the railway track in Shivrajpur area. This cylinder was empty and was kept in a bag.
The matter of concern is that four months ago, in the same area, an attempt was made to overturn the Kalindi Express train by placing a cylinder on the track. On September 8, 2024, a large LPG cylinder with some explosive substance was found on the tracks about one kilometer before Shivrajpur station. An attempt was made to overturn Kalindi Express with this cylinder. However, this empty cylinder weighing five kg was found at night around 100 meters of Shivrajpur station.
