Railway staff travelling in a parcel train, running between Amritsar and Guwahati, had a narrow escape recently. Unaware of ongoing track repair work, the parcel train had a close shave as the loco pilot (driver) had to apply the emergency break just 10 meters before the repair site. The train crew did not receive any prior information. The incident took place between Kesari and Barara railway stations in Haryana. According to sources, engineering staff were working on the track without having cautioning the loco pilot or putting any display board along the track near the site.
