NURPUR, DECEMBER 17

Railway traffic on the Pathankot-Jogindernagar narrow gauge line remained suspended for six hours on Friday after a train engine derailed in the wee hours, near the Koporlahar railway station.

The 01608 passenger train departed from Baijnath at 4 am and its driver failed to notice a small boulder lying on the track, near the Koparlahar railway station. The train engine derailed but all passengers were safe.

The train driver informed the railway authorities at Pathankot about the incident and a relief engine was sent to the spot. A technical team of the department restored train traffic around 12.15 pm.—OC
