Attempted train derailment foiled in western India
A potential train disaster was averted in western India’s Gujarat after miscreants tampered with the tracks.
The incident took place near Kim Railway Station in the Surat district on September 21.
Visuals showed that in the darkness of the night, during a routine inspection, it was discovered that the nuts and bolts of the train tracks had been removed. This was an attempt to illegally stop the train by tampering with the tracks. The loose parts glinted faintly under the inspection lights, highlighting the dangerous sabotage intended to cause a derailment.
The incident took place early today near the Kim Junction railway station when a trackman inspecting the tracks around 5 am noticed the tampering.
The Station Master and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) were immediately informed, and repairs were swiftly carried out to prevent any disruption to train services, officials confirmed.
This incident follows a series of similar attempts to sabotage train operations in recent times.

These incidents highlight growing concerns over the safety of train operations across the country, as authorities continue to investigate and prevent further attempts to sabotage the Indian Railways.
