Delhi-Saharanpur Train Derails in Uttar Pradesh
A coach of the Delhi-Saharanpur passenger train derailed on Sunday in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Senior DCM (Divisional Commercial Manager) Ambala, Naveen Kumar, stated that the derailment had no impact on other train movements. He clarified, ‘The train was moving towards the yard after its termination. One coach of the passenger train has derailed in the yard. It has no impact on any other train movement.’
Earlier, at least seven coaches of a goods train derailed between Ghaziabad and Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh. The goods train derailed in the Amroha yard of UP’s Moradabad district. Officials confirmed that the alternative route between Moradabad-Saharanpur-Meerut-Ghaziabad is open for train movement. No loss of life was reported in the incident, according to Amroha police.
Meanwhile, Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi demanded the resignation of Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, calling him the ‘derailment minister.’ Gogoi criticized Vaishnaw for not taking moral responsibility for train accidents, including the Balasore incident that resulted in about 300 deaths. In response, Vaishnaw emphasized the government’s dedication to hard work, stating, ‘We are not the people who make reels, we do hard work unlike you people who make reels to show off.’
