Bihar Goods Train Derailment Disrupts Howrah-Patna Route
A goods train had an accident in Bihar, where eight wagons came off the tracks.
This happened between two stations, Lahabon and Simultala.
Because of this, many passenger trains had to take different routes, which caused delays and problems for travelers.
The railway company is working to fix the tracks and has started an investigation to find out why the accident happened.
They hope to get the trains running normally again soon.
Eight wagons of a goods train derailed near Simultala in Bihar's Jamui district on Saturday night.
The derailment disrupted train services on the Howrah-Patna route, affecting multiple express trains.
Several trains, including the Howrah-Patna Vande Bharat Express, were diverted via alternative routes.
An inquiry has been initiated to determine the cause of the accident.
Restoration work is ongoing, and services are expected to resume soon.
