Diva: A train accident was averted at Mumbai’s Diva railway station on Thursday by the train driver, as he stopped the Jan Shatabdi Express train from taking a track that was in a state of disrepair.
Central railway authorities suspect that it could be a case of sabotage. D.K Sharma who is the General Manager, confirmed that it could be possible, adding that a probe has been ordered.
The Madgaon-bound Jan Shatabdi Express was carrying 700 passengers, at the time the disrupted railway track was noticed.
Loco pilots applied emergency brakes in the nick of time. The stoppage caused a 15-minute delay.
