Two Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) officials responded and averted the train derailment attempt with the help of police personnel.
In yet another attempt at train sabotage, unidentified miscreants placed a gas cylinder on the railway track in Uttar Pradesh. As its consequence, the Kalindi Express, travelling from Prayagraj to Bhiwani in Haryana, hit the cylinder, but an accident was averted.
