बिहार के गया जिले में रविवार को पूर्व मध्य रेल के ग्रैंडकॉर्ड रेलखंड पर ट्रेन दुर्घटना होने से बच गई। इस घटना में ओवरहेड का तार टूट गया था और इससे रांची-पटना वंदे भारत एक्सप्रेस और रांची-पटना जनशताब्दी एक्सप्रेस को रोक लिया गया। रेलवे कर्मी ने तार की मरम्मत करने में लगभग दो घंटे का समय लिया और फिर यात्रियों को सुरक्षित ढंकने के बाद रेलखंड पर उनकी यात्रा जारी की।
