गोरखपुर जंक्शन के प्लेटफार्म पर टैंकर पलटा, वंदेभारत समेत कई ट्रेनें प्रभावित

On Tuesday, a water tanker overturned on platform number one at Gorakhpur Junction, damaging the platform. The tanker's half-overturned position near the tracks forced the change of platforms for the Vaishali, Bagh, and Darbhanga Clone trains. This disrupted train services for almost two hours. The tanker had been brought to remove...

water accumulated on the rail tracks. As the tanker was brought onto the platform without any prior information or permission, the railway administration has initiated an investigation and ordered action against those responsible. Earlier, due to rainwater on the track, the Vande Bharat Express departed 10 minutes late. The station management expressed dissatisfaction about the accumulated water on the track. Without informing anyone or seeking permission, the Chief Health Inspector sent a water tanker to platform number one around 3:50 PM. The driver parked the tanker right next to the platform near the GRP police station. While the tanker was reversing after drawing water, the platform's stone gave way, causing the tanker to overturn. The tanker's half-overturned position was dangerously close to the tracks just as the Clone Express was about to arrive. Officers quickly changed the platforms for three trains to platform number two. After almost two hours, the tanker was removed using a hydraulic crane, and the damaged part of the platform was repaired. Train operations resumed from this platform after 6:30 PM. The Chief Public Relations Officer, Pankaj Kumar Singh, confirmed an ongoing investigation and promised action against those found responsible.

Isse platform kharab ho gaya aur tanker ka aadha hissa track ki taraf hone se Vaishali, Bagh aur Darbhanga Clone trains ke platforms badalne pade.

rail track pe jama pani nikalne aaya tha. Bina kisi ko bataye ya permission liye, tanker ko platform pe laane ke liye, railway administration ne jaanch ke orders diye hain aur jimmedar logon pe action liya jaayega. Pehle, track pe pani hone ki wajah se, Vande Bharat Express 10 minutes late chali. Station management ne track pe pani hone pe narazgi dikhayi. Bina kisi ko bataye ya permission liye, afternoon 3:50 pe, Chief Health Inspector ne platform number ek pe water tanker bhej diya. Driver ne GRP police station ke paas, platform pe tankar khara kiya. Pani khinchne ke baad, tanker waapas ja raha tha ki platform ka patthar tut gaya, aur tanker palat gaya. Palatne ke baad, tanker ka aadha hissa track ki taraf chala gaya, jab Clone Express aane wali thi. Officers ne jaldi se teen trains ke platforms platform number do pe badal diye. Almost do ghante ki mehnat ke baad, tanker ko hydra se hataaya gaya aur platform ke tute hue hisse ko repair kiya gaya. Train services 6:30 PM ke baad platform se shuru hui. CPRO, Pankaj Kumar Singh ne bataya ki matter ki jaanch ho rahi hai, aur jimmedar logon ke khilaf action liya jaayega.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
