Rail fracture suspected to be cause of train derailment
The cause of derailment of Patna-Indore Express could have been rail fracture, reports claimed on Sunday. The casualties increased due to the absence of modern Linke Holfmann Bush (LHB) coaches in the train. “With stainless steel LHB coaches, the damage could have been less as they have more in-built safety features which can absorb shock,” a Railway official reportedly said.
