Two coaches of the Rani Kamalapati-Saharsa special passenger train derailed as the train was approaching Itarsi station in Madhya Pradesh on Monday evening, according to officials. The incident, which took place at 6:10 PM, resulted in no reported casualties.
"The train was about to enter platform number 2 when its two compartments derailed," he said.
A potential disaster was avoided as the train was traveling at under 5 km/h when the derailment occurred. Even two-and-a-half hours after the incident, the train remains stationed at Itarsi Junction in Hoshangabad district, according to officials.
