Do not sensationalize viral videos: Railways

Bilaspur. The MEMU and goods train were standing on the same track near Jairam Nagar. The video related to this went viral on social media. It was claimed that two trains had come on the same track, as well as it was feared that this could lead to another train accident like Balasore. Whoever saw this video was surprised. They also started thinking that how can two trains come on the same track? It was also surprising that the difference between the MEMU and the goods train was also very less.

People’s reactions started coming continuously on this video. It was called the negligence of the Railways. Questions were being raised on the system and security of the railways. However, as soon as this news reached the Railways, they immediately clarified it. South East Central Railway has denied this news from its official Twitter. He has also expressed grief over it being presented in a sensational manner.

Railways said that ‘a video is going viral in some media channels, in which it has been shown that a goods train and MEMU train had come on the same track at Gataura station. It is to be told about that that the Jairamnagar-Bilaspur section of Bilaspur Division of South East Central Railway is an automatic signaling block section. LV board is fixed behind the MEMU train. It means that the MEMU train is ahead and the other train has come to follow and is standing at a duly fixed distance. There is no irregularity in this.
