What’s inside:
This article talks about a recent train accident in Bihar, highlighting the history of train accidents on river bridges and the need for better safety measures.
A train accident happened recently near the Telwa market in Munger, Bihar, where some wagons of a cement-laden goods train fell into the Badua River. This incident reminds people of earlier tragic train accidents that have occurred on river bridges in the state.
Fortunately, this time it was not a passenger train involved, which means there were no injuries reported. If it had been a passenger train, it could have led to a significant loss of life, raising concerns about railway safety.
This incident has reopened discussions about the safety of railway bridges and the need for regular inspections. The railway authorities are now under pressure to ensure that such accidents do not happen again.
In the past, Bihar has seen severe train accidents, like the one in 1981 where a passenger train plunged into a river, killing nearly all on board. Another tragic event in 2002 resulted in around 200 deaths when a train’s coaches fell off a bridge.
The railway department has ordered an investigation to find out how this recent accident occurred. They will look into whether there was a technical fault in the track or a weakness in the bridge structure to prevent future incidents.
Summary:
- A goods train accident occurred in Bihar’s Munger district.
- No passengers were hurt as it involved a freight train.
- The accident raised alarms about railway bridge safety.
