Reckless attaching of Engine with Train. Rough Shunting.

The incident took place 14th September, 2018 at Jokadia village while train number 04769 was en route to Sriganganagar. At about 8 am when the train was passing through the village, the hook of the engine got opened and it rolled forward about 200 metre leaving the bogies behind, sources said. As soon as the driver realised what has happened, he tried to bring the engine back to join it with the bogies. 
This attempt led to the engine hitting the bogies leaving a few passengers suffering minor injuries. Fortunately, the incident occurred hardly 5 km from Hanumangarh junction and thus the speed of the train was not very fast. It was the guard who informed about the incident at the Hanumangarh junction railway station and the medical aid was immediately sent to the spot, a source said.
Giving the details, NWR officials informed that on Friday the incident happened in Bikaner division in Hanumangarh-Sriganganagar section. They informed that engine had separated and when the attempt to join it back was made, it hit the bogies with force.
As per the railway officials, 17 passengers were injured and were given first aid and three passengers were sent to civil hospital in Hanumangarh by 108 ambulance and later they were discharged from the hospital after medical aid. NWR officials inform that detailed investigation will be done to ascertain the cause of this incident.
