Recently, there has been a spate in deliberate multiple sabotage attempts to derail Indian Railways trains, with two attempts made on Sunday alone. In Shivrajpur, 50 km from Kanpur, a deliberate attempt was made to derail the Kalindi Express by placing a gas cylinder on the route. A major accident was averted after the loco pilot heard the sound of train hitting the cylinder, and applied emergency brakes. Authorities recovered a gas cylinder, glass bottles, a matchbox, and a packet containing explosives near the rail track. In Ajmer, Rajasthan, on Sunday, two cement blocks weighing 70 kg each were found placed on rail tracks to derail a goods train on the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor. OPINION | Who is conspiring to derail Indian Railways?
