Varanasi: A major rail accident was averted in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday. In fact, two trains came face to face on the same track in Varanasi. Swatantrata Senani Express and Ayodhya Dham Special narrowly escaped a collision. According to the information, due to chain pulling, the Swatantrata Senani Express going from New Delhi to Jaynagar was standing in the yard of Varanasi Junction. Due to this, the rear part of the Swatantrata Senani train stopped just across the signal crossing.

Both trains escaped collision

The Bilaspur-Ayodhya Dham Special was given a green signal from Varanasi Junction platform number 3. When this special train reached near the yard of Varanasi Junction, the driver saw that the rear part of the Swatantrata Senani Express was on the same line ahead. The driver of the train showed prudence and immediately applied emergency brakes. Due to the reduction in speed, Ayodhya Dham Special stopped about 50 meters before Swatantrata Senani. This averted a major accident.

The driver informed senior officials

As soon as the railway officials got information about this accident, there was a stir. The driver first informed the Varanasi Cantt control room about the incident and then informed the officials of his zone. After listening to the loco pilot on the wireless set, a team of officials and employees immediately reached the spot. Railway officials reached the spot and sent off both the trains. After the incident, the passengers also heaved a sigh of relief.

Railways formed an investigation team

It is believed that after the investigation report comes, action can be taken against the culprits. According to the information, the person who gave the green signal to the train can also be punished. No passenger has suffered any harm in this incident. At present, the passengers of both the trains are safe. Let us tell you that for the last few months, there has been a conspiracy to overturn trains across the country.
