The world is still not out of the shock of missing Malaysian plane and here in India, a complete passenger train has gone missing… Yes! We are not joking.
An Indian passenger train running en-route Gorakhpur-Muzaffarpur has gone missing in Bihar.
If reports are to be believed, the Gorakhpur-Muzaffarpur passenger train went missing from Hajipur railway station in Bihar, where it was re-routed along with several others trains.
North Eastern Railway officials have confirmed the reports claiming that hunt is on for the missing train since 14 days.
According to officials, on the late night of August 25, a nine coach goods train overturned at Ghughli Bazar station on Gorakhpur-Narkatiaganj route, forcing all the trains running on that route being to divert onto a different route via Deoria, Chhapra and Varanasi.
The Gorakhpur-Muzaffarpur passenger train too was diverted on the same route; however this route too was shut down following failure at the railway interlocking system.
As the route had Hajipur railway station as a major stop, Gorakhpur-Muzaffarpur passenger train too was made to make a stop at Hajipur.
Four days after the incident, officials were shocked after they were informed that the Gorakhpur-Muzaffarpur passenger train had been missing since the day of the incident.
It has been 14 days now and the hunt is still on to locate the missing passenger train.
The news of missing train reminds us of a similar incident, which involved Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, that had gone missing and even after 6 months there are no clues leading to location of the missing flight.
