The train, which was travelling from Varanasi to Mumbai, was stopped at around 9 pm on Tuesday after the obstruction was detected on the track. The loco pilot immediately informed railway authorities about the situation.
North Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Shivam Sharma said the pipe appeared to have been thrown onto the tracks. He stated that the object was hollow and rusted.
Following the incident, the Railway Protection Force registered a case against unknown persons and initiated an investigation to identify those responsible for placing the obstruction on the railway track.
The iron pipe was removed from the track, after which the train resumed its journey towards Mumbai within a few minutes. The quick action by the loco pilot prevented a potentially serious incident and ensured the safe continuation of the train service.
