Tragic Train Accident Near Chinni Gharial – A Result of Negligence

A tragic train accident occurred near the village of Choti Ghartal, located in the Chak Jhumra area. The incident took place at an unmanned railway crossing where a tractor-trolley driver’s negligence led to a serious collision with an oncoming train.

According to initial reports, the tractor-trolley attempted to cross the railway tracks despite the approaching train. The lack of proper barriers at the crossing and the reckless decision by the driver caused the train to crash into the vehicle, resulting in significant damage and disruption.

This unfortunate event highlights the urgent need for improved safety measures at railway crossings, especially in rural areas. Many such crossings lack gates or warning systems, leaving the responsibility entirely on drivers to ensure safety.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident and emphasized the importance of public awareness and strict adherence to traffic rules at railway crossings. Preventing such accidents in the future will require coordinated efforts between government bodies and local communities.
