Restoration work is underway, and the team is present on-site.” He further assured that train movement has not been significantly impacted due to the derailed wagons being on a three-line section, which allows for continued train operations on the unaffected tracks.
Emergency response teams have been deployed to the scene to facilitate the swift clearing of the derailment and to ensure that the railway services return to normal as soon as possible. No casualties or injuries have been reported as a result of the incident.
