In Karnal, Haryana, eight cargo train carriages derailed on Tuesday morning. The accident took place on Tarawadi's railway track where a goods train's eight containers fell onto the railroad track. Trains going towards both sides have been stopped since the collision due to the containers blocking the track. The train was reportedly travelling from Ambala to Delhi. The crew from Tarawadi, Karnal's railway department has begun mending the broken track. This collision has destroyed electric poles and railroad tracks.
In light of the accident, the trains that are currently on this route have been rerouted. All trains are currently being moved via the Jakhal route. In addition, several trains have been rerouted to the Meerut route. According to reports, this collision occurred at around four o'clock today morning when the moving cargo train's containers began to tumble one after the other.
