Train Derailment Averted: Safety Precautions Prevail Near Nagpur

A train from Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh to Itwari in Maharashtra derailed near Nagpur on Sunday night, officials confirmed. The incident occurred around 9.45 pm between Kalamna and Kamptee under the Nagpur Division of South East Central Railway, with no injuries reported.

Railway officials revealed that the front two wheels of the first coach of the Balaghat-Itwari MEMU slipped off the track. Thanks to the train's controlled speed, any serious damage or loss of life was avoided. Passengers remained unharmed, and railway services continued with minimal disruption.

A preliminary inquiry suggests an obstruction, possibly sleepers placed too close to the tracks, may have led to the derailment. Witnesses heard a loud crash prior to the incident, and one of the coach's wheels sustained damage. Repair efforts are underway to restore full services.
