On Wednesday, December 23, a goods train derailed in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district affecting traffic movement on Daund-Manmad rail route, said Central Railway official. However, around 18 long-distance trains have been diverted to other routes, while some have also been cancelled.

In a statement released by the Central Railways, it mentioned the running pattern for long distance trains on Daund-Manmad section.

 

Seven wagons of the goods train, which was on its way to Ahmednagar from Malkhaid Road (in Karnataka) derailed between Shrigonda Road and Belvandi around 12.15 am, Central Railway's Chief Public Relations Officer Shivaji Sutar tweeted.

 

At least 18 long-distance trains have been diverted via alternate routes, while four other trains, including the Pune-Amravati Express and Kolhapur-Gondia Express, are cancelled, Sutar added.

 

The official said since the section in which the derailment occurred has a single track, the re-railing work there is a challenging task.

 

Daund falls under Pune district and Manmad town is located in Nashik district.
