Dera Bassi, April 23

A goods train “broke down” and came to a halt at a level crossing between Issapur and Dera Bassi early Tuesday morning.

It blocked the connectivity to more than three hours to 12 villages in the area.

School buses, office goers, and commuters were stranded on both sides of the train. Milkmen and other supplies waited for hours till the roadblock was cleared.

Commuters had to take a detour of around five kilometres through Bhankharpur side to reach their destinations.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
