Patna: A rail accident occurred early Friday on the Katihar-Barauni rail section under the Sonpur Railway division, where the 15910 Avadh-Assam Express collided with a railway trolley between Kadhagola and Semapur stations, resulting in the death of one railway worker and serious injuries to four others.<\/p>\n
The speeding express train, coming from Barauni, crashed into the trolley present on the down line of the track.<\/p>\n
The trolley was shattered into pieces, and the impact led to the immediate death of one trolley man, while four others suffered critical injuries.<\/p>\n
The injured were rushed to the nearest health centre, where all four remain in critical condition.<\/p>\n
The deceased railway worker\u2019s body has been sent for post-mortem, and his family has been informed.<\/p>\n
A medical team from Katihar was immediately dispatched to the scene, as confirmed by Katihar ADRM Manoj Kumar Singh.<\/p>\n
ADRM Manoj Kumar Singh stated that a high-level investigation has been ordered to determine the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is being investigated how a railway trolley came onto the live track during train movement. Whether it was due to human negligence or a technical failure will be revealed only after a thorough inquiry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
This incident has once again raised serious questions about railway safety protocols and coordination among railway staff during maintenance or logistics movement on active tracks.<\/p>\n
Earlier on June 16, four wheels of a goods train derailed near the Route Relay Interlocking (RRI) section of Muzaffarpur Junction derailed around 6:02 PM.<\/p>\n
The goods train was returning toward Narayanpur after unloading ballast (boulders) and had originated from the Madipur side.<\/p>\n
According to a railway official, a wagon went off the track shortly before the derailment, causing the train to become unbalanced.<\/p>\n
