A goods train carrying coal broke into two after the coupling of one of the coaches got detached in West Central Railway's Jabalpur division in Madhya Pradesh on Saturday, an official said.

The coupling is a chain and hook mechanism to attach two coaches or wagons of a train.

The incident took place between the Katni and Bina stations, the official said. “The traffic was not disrupted. The train was headed to Agra in Uttar Pradesh after loading coal from Singauli. The issue was fixed and the train has left for its destination,” WCR Chief Public Relations Officer Harshit Shrivastava said.

Another official said the locomotive and a few coaches moved more than 100 m after the coupling broke and stopped only when the train manager contacted the driver via walkie-talkie.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

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.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
