Muzaffarpur: Timely Intervention Prevents Major Rail Accident Near Kurhani Station

MUZAFFARPUR – A potentially catastrophic accident was averted near Kurhani station on the Muzaffarpur-Hajipur railway section on Friday morning, thanks to the swift action of vigilant railway personnel. The incident unfolded as several trains passed over a track that had fractured approximately a foot.

Among the trains scheduled to traverse the compromised track was the Bhagalpur-Jammu Tawi Amarnath Express. However, averted disaster ensued as keyman Vakil Kumar and gateman Ravikant Rajak promptly identified the broken track and immediately reported the situation to Sonpur Control Room.
