An inquiry into the Mysuru-Darbhanga Bagmati Express accident pointed to sabotage, confirming the removal of nuts and bolts from the track. This caused the train to veer onto the loop line and collide with a stationary goods train at Kavaraipettai on October 11, resulting in derailment and injuries. Officials ruled out a technical fault.

@admin, please ek nayi colour impose karo closed railway lines ke liye, existing MG/NG lines mark karne ki jagah. Yeh bahut confusion create kar rahi hain.

For example, Southern Railway Zone mein, Mayladuthurai Tranquebar MG line, Agasthiyampalli Point Calimere line traffic ke liye band hain aur abhi tak inhe reconstruct karne ka koi proposal nahin hai (lekin future uncertain hai). Toh yeh line ek nayi colour se mark ki ja sakti hai confusion se bachne ke liye operational Nilagiri Mountain Railway MG line se, jo issi SR zone mein hai. (Sabhi zones ke liye applicable hai)

Aajkal, yeh MG/NG railway lines ke liye ek nayi tourism aa rahi hai kyunki yeh India se fade ho rahi hain. Toh please isse ek request ki tarah consider karo aur change kar do.
