Rajasthan Train Accident: Derailment attempt averted in Ajmer, massive cement block hits engine

A plot to derail a train was averted in Rajasthan's Ajmer district on Sunday, September 10, 2024, just a day after a similar attempt was made in Kanpur.

The incident occurred on the Phulera-Ahmedabad route, where a massive cement block weighing around 100 kg was placed on the tracks.

However, the train's engine managed to break through the cement block, averting a major rail disaster.

The incident took place between the Saradhana-Bangad Gram station in Ajmer, Rajasthan.

Acting on the loco pilot's alert, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) rushed to the spot and inspected the tracks.

They found pieces of cement on the tracks, which the train had collided with.

The RPF has registered an FIR at the Mangliyawas police station and launched a search for the accused.
