A major train accident was averted in Gujarat's Surat as the fish plates on the railway tracks were found removed in the early morning inspection.

Tragic 1956 Thoothukudi Express derailment in India remains a pivotal moment in history, sparking nationwide outrage and accountability.

The driver of the Naini Jan Shatabdi Express averted a possible accident when he slammed the emergency brakes on finding an iron pole across the tracks in near Uttarakhand's Rudrapur, officials said on Thursday, alleging that it could be sabotage.

On the complaint of Rudrapur city section railway engineer Rajendra Kumar, an FIR was lodged at GRP Police Station Rampur under sections of the Railways Act 1989 against unnamed people.

On September 18, the loco pilot of train number 12091, traveling from Bilaspur Road towards Rudrapur, spotted the iron rod on the tracks between km 43/10-11. Reacting swiftly, the driver applied the emergency brakes, halting the train in time to avoid a potential disaster.
