Mathura, January 22

Rail traffic was completely obstructed between Mathura and Delhi following the derailment of a Ghaziabad-bound freight train here in Vrindavan, officials said on Saturday.

The accident occurred at 11.30 pm on Friday when several coaches of the train coming from Chittoor Nimba station derailed, they said.

“Both up and down routes and the third line have been affected owing to the derailment,” Agra division railways PRO SK Srivastava said.

Over 300 men are working continuously to remove the coaches, which were loaded with cement, he said.

About 15 wagons of the train covered all three railway lines and the traffic might resume only by evening, said the official.

The train derailed between Bhuteshwar and Vrindavan road stations of Mathura-Palwal section of the North Eastern Railway, the official said.

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).
